Aerial Silk course with Amina Riccetti

Silks offer the opportunity to develop strength as well as expression. This course is directed at intermediate and advanced levels – the prerequisite to participate is being able to climb on the silks and to do a foot knot. We will work on basics, refine our techniques and open up the room for artistic development. Participants get to work on their artistic approach to aerial silks, explore new variations to deepen their forms of expression and develop them further.

– warm-up & physical training for silks
– specific mobility & prevention of injuries
– figures, balance-work & dynamic elements
– sequences and creative exploration (adjusted to your personal level)
