A long awaited return...

After taking a 1.5 year hiatus (shit...er...life happens) from practicing aerial silks and only being back at it for 1.5 weeks, I came up with this little routine comprised of both old and new moves (learned yesterday!). It's a bit sloppy, but lacking the calluses and endurance, I think it's just fine! It's good to know that I still have it!

Hi Alaina! Sorry for the delayed response..I don't check this very often! It's good to hear that you're taking classes at Sky Candy. I hope that the class went well. The Blue Lapis Light classes are wonderful. I have no dance background, so I started out really ungraceful. The BLL teachers are trained in ballet, so they incorporate ballet type stretches in the warm ups (nothing to difficult). It helps out with the silks as well as grace and coordination. They focus on teaching specific..

..moves. You'll practice them and get them down really well. Then you can add grace into it. They focus on teaching proper technique, telling a bit about the muscle groups you need to focus on. I really like both BLL and Sky Candy. Since I started out at BLL, I feel like I understand more about adding grace (with their ballet backgrounds), yet I feel like I've been able to learn more moves quickly through Sky Candy (since I'm beyond beginner, it's easier to learn quickly). Hope that helps!

Oh, and I *highly* recommend going to Open Studios to practice what you've learned. That will help with strength, endurance, muscle memory, as well as cognitive awareness of what your body is doing.
