Our Aerial Silks program is designed to assist
instructors who are teaching both the skills and the
cautions necessary to participate in a logical and
fun Aerial Silks program for Children and Adult
Beginners. Our Artistic Director, Cori Woolfe
developed and implemented this program to teach
the coaches at the Vancouver Circus School, how
to teach Aerial Silks.

Aerial Silks is physically demanding and many
children and adults become discouraged because
of the strength required to learn skills. From her
experience as an adult learner and through
teaching silks to children, she developed a
program that will allow students to learn skills
using LOGICAL PROGRESSIONS that will
develop strength while they learn skills and
performance routines.

This program was developed with assistance from
Aaron Johnson, to help both students and other
instructors to further develop their skills and to
train new instructor’s to expand the aerial silks
program.

The skills used by The Circus Aerials Society have
been acquired, adopted and developed from the
culminated exposure to many other Aerialists that
we have met over the years. We have had the
great privilege of learning silks from many other
silks artists and instructors who have very
generously shared their expertise. They include but
are not limited to: Sam Alvarez from Montreal,
Rebecca Leonard from Toronto, Laura Paxton
from Seattle, WA, Ginny Ritchie from New
Zealand, Elsie and Serinty Smith and from Cirkids;
Colleen Yeun and Jay Nunns. We have also had
the benefit of learning from others we have
performed with such as Jamie Evrard , Monica
Tse, Israel Mota Reyes, Claire, Talitha, Lucky and
David Anderson as well as all of the other
aerialists from Cirkids, VCS and especially the
Great Northern Way Aerial Club who motivate and
inspire us.

load-tested rigging equipment.
