I have admired aerial for many years and I am just now starting to become healthier and stronger and feel a little more confident to try, I also have literally wanted to join the circus and become a street artist for as long as I can remember so I think it can be good for my confidence as well as i simple love knowing random things to do ☺
Hi Amanda, I never thought I would want to do anything remotely related to circus. I was the most inactive city girl you can imagine. But the more I keep going, the more I discover about myself and what I can do. Physical training is hard on the mind, but it definitely gives a lot of positive feedback to my every day life! Hope you will find your way too!
I have been practicing aerial silks for 7 years and I'm loving your workout tips and videos. I have been training alone at home since the beginning of the quarantine and they are very helpful. thanks for sharing with us
YESSSS thats exactly how I feel ! it is all so hard but lots of aerialists out there having the same struggle. So I thought I would share my struggles, just need to keep growing to share better stuff haha motivate me to not stop at where I am and keep going! Nice to meet you Giovanna!
For me aerial dance is about having fun and learning new tricks. I do gymnastics but I go to a club and I often beat myself up when I can't do something and I've really started to dislike it now, but im self taught in aerial arts so there is no competition and I never get upset when I can't do something. I strongly recommend doing aerial it's so fun and freeing.
I FEEEL YOU!!!! I literary just took my bruised legs from this week's hoop practice. gonna share in my IG soon if you want to see the beautiful moments vs behind the scene bruises hahaha brusies pic are never nice to look at but its as real as the flows!
Hi Eunice this was a Wonderful video Ididn't even know that there was a aerial Chandelier and Diamond if i was on that iwould fall but thanks for Anwering my Question when i Saw my name iwas Freaking out Cause it was my first time being noticed by a TH-camr! Also thanks for Tagging me in Insta your The Best Keep it up❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome audrey. I tried aerial diamond for a little bit but I prefer the hoop much more. I like to stick to the basic and simplicity. Hope you are having a great day !
aerialpractice i got a white one, when/if it gets dirty i’m going to tie dye it!!! and i’m planning on working on a little of everything possible with a hammock!!!
@@mia-makes I am thinking of gettting a white one too!!!! I love my new orange pants and I think white hammock would look great hahaha! One of the major issues with aerial hahah trying to match the colors! But yesss take small steps and soon everything is possible!
Omg how low is yours? I thought mine is like the minimum already ahahah its not normal to hear your friends touching the ceiling of their apartment everyday ahhaha!
aerialpractice yeah lol I don’t even have to jump to touch my ceiling. For me it’s 2.134 meters ( 7ft) so right went I get to the sitting position/standard on my hammock there’s no where else I can go but back down
@@princessclaya2 That's really low but better than nothing? Can you still practice quite a lot? I cant wait to practice with space next week when I am out on my trip!
Hello! I have to thank you for your videos. I have been self learning the silk/sling the passed 6 months and this channel is very helpful. I am trying to find a Lyra to add to my practice. I am looking for advise as to which type to purchase. I am leaning towards a tabless because it seems more universal. Any input would be appreciated!! Thank you 😄
I am glad you find these info useful. I can't imagine self learning but i didn't have a strong physique to begin so it definitely helped a lot to have coaches from time to time. You are going to love the next video (coming next Sat)! I am going to talk about my hoop and transitioning from hammock to hoop!
Here are my question: what age can I start doing this? What is your recommendation for the equipment you told us that we can use which one is easier to start and the safest? Where do I find a trainer for aerial dancing?I really want to try this I love moving around and I want to work on my flexibility 🥺❤️ thanks for the information☺️
Any age! You just need the right instructor to help you get started because our bodies have diffierent needs at different ages. It's hard to know what you need unless you are used to physical training. There isn't one set and stone recommendation on equipment, again what you need depends on what you want to do and where you are doing them. You will need someone professional to help you decide whats the safest. Where are you located? I have tried lessons in Hong Kong, Netherlands, Poalnd, germany ,etc.. Not too hard to find someone local if you look for it=)
There are is a huge selection of options when It comes to silks how did you pick out a certain set that fit your needs for aerial practice? What sort of stretch did you start out on as a beginner with ?
I find that there aren't that many options to buy silks for aerial silks or aerial hammock practice. I feel the more difficult part is to pick the vendor - many selling basically similar items but the quality varies a lot. I started off with low stretch and i still prefer low stretch simply because it works best for what I do. I always start by picking the vendor, length, and color.
Hi I’m just wondering how can you find an aerial rig professional because I have searched everywhere and I can’t find anywhere. I have been watching you for a while now and I would love to learn aerial hammock myself but I have low ceilings. I also do trampolining right now in school and at home and it’s just something I really want to try but my parents won’t let me. Thanks so much
I would say know the rules of your building. Because I know some apartment people may not want you to damage there ceiling. As well as knowing if there are good at holding up someone’s weight ( there is also force from some of these moves so it’s not just weight ) if you get the ok from the apartment people you may want to ask questions to see if you will be safe while practicing.as well as your ceiling texture. But to skip all of the human interaction you could go the safest route and buy a aerial rig.
I agree with Yuno! My gear was my first consideration when I was searching for an apartment. I am lucky to find a landlord that supports it. Not every ceiling is capable of holding weight, not every set is the same. Best to find someone who knows about rigging to inspect and install for you! Hope it helps!
Ok so ik im really late and you have grown popular but i hope you can answer my question! I am 12 years old and i have an aerial hammock but every single time i do tricks and dances i get burned badly from the fabric!!! Is there any way to prevent that?
I'm late but I'm wanting to slim tone and have a fun exercise to do to lose weight. I have a few illnesses that mess with my thyroid so losing weight us extremely difficult now and I gain weight Uber quickly and I want to lose it but need help and structure doing it on my own just isn't working
I totally get it. I never wanted to lose weight but I wanted to have fun to keep me active. I upload practice video weekly and live session once a month to share with you what I learned. If you have a rig or have access to one, maybe this could give you more structure?
hiii! just wondering what strechyness level would you recommend for a beginner i am looking into getting dolls and don’t know what strechyness level i should get.
Nope. I had neither experience, just takes more work to catch up. I wish so much I had some experience but then I wouldn’t be here chatting to with you today.. so yea every journey is special and it’s better to have lived than no experience
Depends on who you speak to. A lot of aerial dancers have a background in pole or also do pole. I personally feel the knowledge is transferable but relying on a dynamic fabric feels totally different than a static pole. Though there is also flying pole@

What are your main interests and what level are you? 😍
I've seen the McFive Circus Family do it and I am absolutely addicted and I want to do it so bad I have never done ariel silks but oh well haha
I’m a baby aerialist with a focus in Lyra/hoop! I also enjoy aerial yoga and I’m hoping to try silks when I’m ready to expand my practice ☺️
This is so informative. You are very generous for making this and very inspiring 👌❤️
Thank you Sharon! Let me know if you have more questions or feedback =)

aerialpractice not really I’m only able to do smaller moves and me trying to gain strength so I can’t do much. That’s why I’m practicing hoop.
Is great for stretching I'm a LMT trying to help better my Clients with stretching assisted
That's great!

I would ask your instructors for more localized advice!
@@aerialpractice thanks so much for your help 😀
Is there also safety precautions for apartment living, as far as set up goes?
I would say know the rules of your building. Because I know some apartment people may not want you to damage there ceiling. As well as knowing if there are good at holding up someone’s weight ( there is also force from some of these moves so it’s not just weight ) if you get the ok from the apartment people you may want to ask questions to see if you will be safe while practicing.as well as your ceiling texture.

How are you getting burned? did you wear long sleeves to cover your skin? are you using your strength to support you?
I'm late but I'm wanting to slim tone and have a fun exercise to do to lose weight. I have a few illnesses that mess with my thyroid so losing weight us extremely difficult now and I gain weight Uber quickly and I want to lose it but need help and structure doing it on my own just isn't working

Hey Eunice, can you please please share the link of the hammock/sling that you're using in this video. Love from India!!
Try these two links: amzn.to/36N7QF8
amzn.to/3dnRPbo
Im 16 and would love to start dance but dunno what to do
Start by searching for classes near by. take any dance classes to find what you like!
hiii! just wondering what strechyness level would you recommend for a beginner i am looking into getting dolls and don’t know what strechyness level i should get.
Depends what you want to use it for, but i personally find that less stretchy feels easier, especially because i work with low ceiling.
aerialpractice ok thank you! i’m ordering my aerial silks now! :)
@@miranda1383 So jealous! I want to buy more too! hahaha Its an addiction seriously.
aerialpractice yeah! i’ve seen so many beautiful ones, i want to just buy them all!
Do you need gymnastics or dancing experience to start learning aerial silks?
Nope. I had neither experience, just takes more work to catch up. I wish so much I had some experience but then I wouldn’t be here chatting to with you today.. so yea every journey is special and it’s better to have lived than no experience
@@aerialpractice thank you!
Does aerial arts include pole dancing?
Depends on who you speak to. A lot of aerial dancers have a background in pole or also do pole. I personally feel the knowledge is transferable but relying on a dynamic fabric feels totally different than a static pole.
Though there is also flying pole@
