| Event Name: | Flying Fantastic - Aerial Silks! |
| Description: | Flying Fantastic is a brand new concept in London. Designed to get you fit and making sure you're having fun while you're doing it. We're all about getting you to learn new skills and discover talents (and muscles) you never knew you had!
You'll be learning the basics of Aerial silks - as seen in that BBC clip from years ago, or in Cirque du Soleil! Basically it's when a doubled over length of material hangs from the ceiling, allowing you to climb, create figures, perform tricks and stunts, and generally have a play - getting fit while doing it! The variety of moves, drops, wraps, twists and turns are practically endless! It's great for male and female, with moves to suit both sexes and plenty of chances chaps to put those 'guns' you're so proud of to good use! :-)
But we don't expect you to be an expert - far from it. In fact you don't need any experience at all to come and give it a go. Our classes are designed to cater for people of all levels, whatever their experience. Nothing beats the thrill of being in the air on an aerial silk! |

| Event Agenda: | Class structure:
• You'll start with a focused warm-up to make sure you wake up all the muscles and joints you'll be using over the course of the class. This will get your heart rate up and will help towards improving your strength and general flexibility.
• After the warm-up, you'll be divided into smaller groups, and teachers will be working with you showing you the basics and getting you moving up and down the silks.
• Your main class time is devoted to working on the silks. You'll be learning moves and figures set by the instructors. You'll take it in turns to perform the exercises with teachers on-hand to ensure you know what you're up to and aren't tying yourself in knots! There will be a maximum of 6 students per teacher.
• The skills part of the class finishes with a short conditioning work-out to make sure we've really worked everyone hard.
• Finally, the class finishes with a 10 minute period for warm-down to try to reduce any aches and pains that might appear in the morning!
We'll have our own exclusive class, and hopefully find a suitable pub to 'wind down' in afterwards... |
