The silks, also know as fabric and tissue, are a wonderful, dramatic circus art form. The silks are a long piece of slightly stretchy fabric, knotted to form two silk pieces. Note the silks aren't actually made from silk. Participants will follow the Luna syllabus building up strength, stamina and confidence. Absolutely no prior level of fitness or gymnastic ability required, complete beginners are absolutely welcome. If you want to get strong this is the apparatus for you.

There are opportunities to perform in studio shows and at external events, no pressure is put on an individual to do this. There are opportunities to compete in silks, at an in-house, national and international level. These are open to everyone.

We have dedicated classes for children (see Junior specialisation). Silks also form part of our junior programme.
