Hi everyone! Excited to have a chance to train virtually with everyone. The pandemic hit right after I had my first child, so training has been a “no-go” for a while. This will be a great opportunity for safe coaching and helpful feedback!

Hello, lovely people! I am excited to be back in the air at long last with you all 🙂 I enjoyed the Emerge training from a few months ago, finally managed to get myself a rig after long last, and am excited to learn some things new things. I am curious to see what monthly challenges are planned for the winter months (kind of intrigued by what creativity I will need to continue flying with a rig during Michigan winter), and what new workouts/stretches there may be that may help me actually get some semblance of splits or straighter legs 😛

Aloha,
My island doesn’t have an aerial studio (yet), and I’ve been without a mentor for several years now. So I’m always looking forward to and waiting for Brett and Rachel’s beautiful informative videos.
And I’m stoked to be able to learn virtually with all of you. Mahalo Brett & Rachel!

Hey there,
My name is Lena and I fell in love with Silks 2016 and I am still loving it! Unfortunately I only have access to a rig once a week and have to switch between Hammock (my second love) and Silks. But I will try to keep up and can’t wait to see your beautiful videos <3 I am used to train alone and I don’t like it, thats why I am really happy about this virtual classes.

Hi I’m Laura!!
I’ve fallen in love with silks about 4 years ago, I’m seroiusly obsessed ahah-
I’ve never attempted double star drop, I can do the easier single star, open star, but never tried double so I don’t know if I’ll do this monthly challenge. The roof at the studio here is about 16 feet, don’t know if it’s enough… the truth is I’m a chicken

Hi, I’m Hila!
Thank you so much for starting this thread, what a great idea! Great to meet everyone!
I got hooked one day when I happened to turn the wrong way after getting a pedicure and saw Rachel teaching a bunch of kids through a window. I took the last spot in the only adult class the studio offered (which happened to be an advanced silks class, haha). This was some years back soon after having a baby, and I’m super happy to be working with Rachel and Brett again!
Other than this, I live a very full life–5 fish, 2 kids (now home schooling), 2 cats, 1 husband, 1 mouse, 1 full time job (Public Health/Safety position at an Aerospace company), 1 college course….

My name is Jolene. I’m so excited to meet and be training with you all, even virtually. This online community and resource is such a godsend for me during this time. We are under a serious lock down in Hawaii and I’m very much missing my aerial comrades.
Aerial Goals: to learn more about performance – char building, choreography, and flows to make a stellar performance.
Be well and be safe!

Hi everyone!! Super excited for this virtual community – been really missing my silks community in NYC during the pandemic. I fell in love with silks in 2014, and have been training to varying degrees since then. I bought an 11 foot rig in March and have been using it to keep up my strength and play with sequences that don’t require much height. Excited to learn some new repertoire and continue training!

Hey everyone! I’m so excited about every aspect of this online community: the people from all over the world, the content, the stars, all of it! I’ve switched from training in studios surrounded by supportive friends and instructors with lots of knowledge, to training on my own in my backyard (battling lots of FL heat and rain recently). It’s been a struggle to say the least, so I’ll take all of the motivation, accountability, structure, and peer support that I can get at this point haha 😛 I took the Emerge workshop during quarantine, and it was so much fun and so inspiring! Rachel and Brett are so good at explaining and making you forget that you’re not there in their studio. I want to recommend to anyone transitioning to learning online for the first time like I was: watch the videos many times, in slow motion even, and take A LOT of very detailed notes before trying the trick on your own. I found not having the instructor physically there when you’re trying a trick for the first time is much less difficult this way. Start a physical/digital folder or notebook now! Happy flying my fellow silk stars! <3

Hi everyone! Glad to be here! I started out with pole and eventually came to love aerial silks, so I have been mostly doing self training since learning how to do some basics. I was part of the Emerge workshops and I certainly enjoyed everything about it even though it was quite challenging for me. I look forward to this program, already I had picked up a lot of pointers with the double star drop! Thank you Rachel and Brett for making this possible!

Hi friends! I’m Amy, I live in the mountains of Flagstaff, AZ. I’ve been enjoying silks, lyra or trapeze fo about 5 years now, minus the last 6 months, when the only training I made time for was the Emerge workshop. I hardly even did any of Rachel and Brett’s Aerial Powerhouse training, I have been so yucky busy at work. It’s thrilling to have a focus now for monthly training—thanks you two!!

G’day everyone,
I’m Vanessa (from Poland). I’m living in Cologne, Germany, right now, enjoying the last sunny days outside doing a little bit of outdoor silks training 🙂 My aerial journey startet about a year and half ago and I got completely addicted to it, which is quite funny, since I have never done much sports, but well, we will all get there eventually 🙂
I got really interested in SilkStars because of its focus on choreography/performance. The aerial silk courses I’ve visited consisted of a new move each time, maybe a little combination, that you practised once and forgot about straight after. That’s what got me into pole, where we have an instructor who focuses a lot on perfecting moves and even dancing them to music. I was trying to do the same during my own training on the silks, but it turned out to be much harder than I thought (esp. compared to pole, where you dont get entangled and you’re not working with an appartatus that sometimes seems to have its own mind), which is why I was so excited to read up about SilkStars. Thanks for this great opportunity!Name: Vanessa

Hi! A little late to the intro side of things
I fell in love with silks a couple of years ago after doing pole for about a year first. I found aerials after a few years teaching/performing rope (Japanese, not aerial ropes) around Australia and overseas. I love the connection and transition I have found from this to silks.
Looking forward to getting to be a part of this virtual community 💕

Hi all! I subscribed to silks stars and then my work got so busy – so I’m excited to be joining in a bit late. My name is Sara – and I love all things aerial – silks, sling, and rope mostly though! I was training a lot on my rig, but now our studio (I’m a co-owner) in the small town of Grass Valley, CA allowed gyms to reopen – so we are now teaching very small/masks worn classes for students. I feel like my own practice and progression has been lacking since March, so I’m very excited to delve into these fun challenges and connect with you all!

Hello everyone, excited to meet so many fellow aerialists. I was an aerial teacher and performer for a few years but after lockdown in March I took a step back and went back to performing touring circus again as of June, no regrets but I do miss everyone.

Hello!
Name/pronouns: Sarah, she/her
Location: NYC
Primary apparatus: silks & ropeMy beforetimes studios (I was an advanced student) have been closed since March, one of them semi-permanently. I have a friend with a silks point in her props warehouse, so I’ve been back in the air since September, but only once a week, and mostly focused on regaining strength, and coaching the friend, who was a newer student and still mastering more basic skills. (I’m not teaching her anything new so much as giving her pointers and encouragement on skills she was taught but had not yet mastered in the beforetimes.) I’m excited to work on new combinations again. I tried the mini-rig bonus challenge last week, and was surprised by how quickly I got tired stringing just a couple of things together. Clearly I need to work on my endurance!

Hey there! I am so excited to be a part of Silks Stars. I am a hairstylist by day, aerial instructor at night. Most of the time I play with straight silks, sling and rope. Sometimes I dabble with trapeze and lyra as well. I’ve been practicing aerial for almost 9 years now and teaching for 3 years. Since I started teaching 5-6 days a week, I’ve noticed that I don’t get much time to practice and explore for myself. I’m hoping with this program and the community of supportive aerialist it has brought together, I will be able to rediscover the student and performer in me! I look forward to chatting and getting to know all of you!

Hi team. Silks Stars member from the start, but slow to post something here. I’ve been doing silks for around 5 years, so I guess late 2016! It was an amazing thing to emerge back into the world with after having 2 children. It provides me with a space for creativity, a space to dance, better health, great inclusive community, and meditation in a way – because when I’m at circus my mind is at circus and nowhere else. I train at an amazing space here in New Zealand, called The Circus Hub. I’m constantly inspired by all the other apparatus and what people do on them, but I haven’t really strayed away from silks yet. I’ve really enjoyed the way Silks Stars has encouraged me to create mini performances and think about how I can move on the silks and interpret things in my way.

Hi you all, I am Katharina from Germany. I started doing silks September a year ago aged 41 and with no acrobatic, dance or other background whatsoever. I wish I had discovered it 20 years earlier! But better late than never, enjoying it tremendously. Coaching opportunities where I live a rather restricted, therefore I joined SilkStars to find new inspirations to grow. I can do all the fundamentals, but the monthly challenges are extremely challenging for me!!!

Hi everyone. I am late to join the SilkStars community but happy to have found the group. I grew up performing in a youth circus in Peru, IN but never had the opportunity to train silks.

I’m Anna and just joined up. I’ve been doing silks for five years and have, due to being in remote locations, mostly trained by myself.
I have done some performances at festivals and recently started teaching silks classes as an assistant teacher (learning the ropes) and am keen to learn as much as I possibly can.
I also got myself an aerial net and am having a blast trying out stuff on that, so if anyone has any tips for the early stages of aerial net, let me know!

Hi everyone, I’m Lisa and just joined last month, after wanting to for several years 😀 I’m a longtime aerialist but have taken many breaks over the years and as the art form keeps evolving, I am so grateful to find a learning community such as this to safely progress and evolve as well! Love silks always, but train rope, hammock and Lyra as well.
Fun fact I’m also almost 6 months post op from a hip replacement which has been nothing short of a miracle, allowing me to return to aerial arts and many other activities I’d had to slowly give up due to arthritis pain and lack of ROM. In addition to my live training I thought this would be a great environment in which to progress in an intentional manner with detailed technical breakdowns, q&a, ground workouts etc and I was right! Just what I was looking for 😀
