Aerial Silks Performances & Classes
Silks are my foundation for storytelling. Whether I am teaching a new class or choreographing a performance, I focus on the connection between fluid movement and technical strength.
A classic aerial silks sequence. These are the kinds of foundational moves that form the building blocks for more complex choreography and drops.
This sequence has been growing for weeks, combining moves from different class levels. It's trickier than it looks but shows how skills can be compiled into a longer, flowing piece.
A technical and fun sequence we've been working on with my intermediate group. It requires precision with the wraps to execute safely and smoothly.
A short but challenging sequence on the silks. The beauty of this apparatus is in the intricate wraps and the feeling of moving with the fabric.
Silks will always be my first love. This was a good day to just dance with the fabric, exploring the possibilities and rediscovering the joy of movement.
An example of creating interesting entries and exits for a split pose. I'm always looking for new transitions to make sequences more unique.
This technical set of moves was a fun challenge to put together. It shows how different wraps and holds can be linked into a complex sequence.
Revisiting some old favorite moves on the silks. It's always good to come back to familiar skills and see how they feel now.
A pretty little sequence that's great for classes and for fun. It combines a simple climb with a graceful pose and descent.
I love combining different pieces of choreography. This sequence links a warm-up drill with an old sequence, creating something new and fun to perform.
About Aerial Silks
Silks are rarely about the big drop; they are about the physics of the climb. My approach focuses on 'troubleshooting' a sequence—finding why a wrap feels clunky or how to smooth out the transition between the climb and the descent. Whether you are mapping out your first climb or a performer looking for a cleaner entry, we focus on making the movement feel intuitive, not forced.
The fabric is my primary partner. It holds your weight, but it also dictates the pace of the movement. When I teach, we start with the basics: climbs, foot locks, and finding balance. It sounds simple, but getting comfortable in the fabric is the biggest hurdle for students. Once you trust the material, the more complex sequences—the belay, the S-wrap, or the classic drops—start to make sense.
For performances, I look for a narrative. Is the drop sudden or drawn out? Does the choreography highlight the height of the venue or the intimacy of the space?
Based in New Delhi, I work with various venues across India. Whether it is a high-ceiling studio for an intensive workshop or a corporate event space requiring a specialized rigging setup, the prep remains the same: safety first. We check the anchor points, calculate the load, and ensure the fabric is rigged for the specific drop height. If you are looking to book a show, think about the theme. We can blend contemporary dance with circus skills to match the mood of your event. If you are a student, bring an open mind. We will likely make mistakes, and that is exactly where the progress happens.
