Safety First: Use a qualified rigger to rig your aerial silks. Be fully warmed up before you attempt any exercises on the aerial silks. Place a crash mat underneath you and have a spotter to assist you.
I get my equipment from www.firetoys.co.uk/?cmid=NnpQ...
Make sure you SUBSCRIBE for lots more videos, thanks for watching!
Omg watching this is so therapeutic. My body is craving these movements
If you ever decide to start just know it’s actually quite painful and a tough workout for beginners
I just love how the song ends with “we hit the point when it’s over” right when it was over.
These vids are invaluable and my favorites. Thank you!
I managed to go upside down on my own on the butterfly yesterday 😁
Space Lemons yay!!
So cool !
Great job. I’m afraid to do it because I keep getting stuck in the x
@Karolina Kozikowska i do it the way she does i dont get stuck anymore.
Congrats. Wish I could do it I’ve been practicing for ages 😂
I've been practicing silks for three months and definitely need more conditioning. Your videos really help!
Conditioning makes everything else so much easier, doesn't it!
We dont have a aariel but I made one out of king sized sheets and most of these moves work. thx for the video u just got another subscriber
Charlotte Rempala love that!
Trev T I used to do that lol but I have aerial silks now
Wait, you can use king sized sheets to hack it??????
DD Music yes, cotton and polyester are very strong. My sister and I used it for months with no problems, and we are both tall so we do carry more weight because we are taller than average people so it does hold weight.
Please don't use regular cotton sheets. The tricot knit used for silks has a weave that tends to fail vertically instead of horizontally, so if it tears it's less likely to tear all the way across and drop you on your head, more likely to get long holes. Cotton does not have that feature and it more likely to fail catastrophically. Silks are pretty affordable, especially if you're working with a low height.
Next week I'm going to an aerial silks class, but right now I can do so many tricks!
Yay I hope you get on well with the class!
You have helped me so much, you're the best, keep up the good work!
Thank you, I'm pleased you find them useful!
Thank you so much! I'm 11 years old and can do lots of moves high up! My first big moves was the butterfly in the air! I'm going to ask my coach to teach me come these moves!
Yay let me know how they go :)
Lol how did they go?
Hello! Thank you for these videos. I only had a few lessons, but over the lockdown, I ordered and installed my rig at home and have been practicing basic moves. Your channel has been invaluable!
Not just saying it. You are THE BEST aerial channel out there
That's so sweet of you to say, thank you!

Just started doing aerial silks and love watching your videos! Thank you! New subscriber :-)
Thank you so much! Welcome to the crazy world of aerial silks!
I love, love, love, your videos. Can you please do a tutorial of how to do the butterfly? It's that one move that is very mental for me and I can't seem to grasp it quite yet and I am so close! Thanks.
Thank you! I'll definitely add it to my list of things to film :)
This is good when my silks arrive I am going to learn loads of tricks.
Are you self teaching also!?!? If you are, I am going to warn you that it hurts at first, a lot, But it is so fun!!!
i love your videos !!
thank you!
i started silks yesterday. i thought it'd take ages to get the split one right but it was one of the first moves i learned :D
Yay well done! I hope you enjoy silks!
These videos are great for seeing the kinds of moves I'll be working up to in future. Thanks! :D
BTW, what song is this?
Can you please do 10 drops (medium skill) I've been invited to audition for a circus and I have to create a routine. Also thanks for making vids it has helped me a lot😊
Grace Spark yay congratulations! Yep I'll definitely film that in the next week or so :)
Grace Spark 360 fallen angel suicide drop jack n The box Sunday roll helecopter are my favourite simple drops
Good luck!
hey! it's me on a different account :) thanks to your video I got in and travelled around for a while! Now I'm a youth performer in my area so thank you so much!!
I don’t like the circus cause it scares me 😱 but congratulations!!! 🎉🎊🎈
I have seen this video like 10 times it really help me
thanks!
Sadly I don't have the right equipment to do ariel silks, but these are so fun to watch! :D
Hahaha did some silks today and was trying to remember how to do the butterfly one again xD I’ll have to try again next week
I love the split roll❤️😍😁
It's such a fun one!
I’m getting my own silk in two weeks😱 i’m so excited
@@ameliayoung3233 I got mine a few days ago! they are so fun! It hurts but it is really fun. Are you self teaching?
Yes I am self teaching but I might go to classes
Thank you so much for all these tutorials. I am fairly new to silks but fortunately (not without the help of your tutorials which I binge watch to memorize new moves, by the way :D) I'm progressing fast. I'd love it if you could do a follow-up on this one, I need new inspiration 😆 And if you ever think of opening up an aerial arts school in Germany (long-shot, I know) I'd be the first to sign up 💪 greetings
Thank you I'm so pleased you find them useful! I will definitely put it on my list of things to film :)
Thx for teaching x knee hang!
Tip, when doing rolling into splits hold way lower down on the silk with lower hand that way when you turn you can pull the slack toward your body, I have had the foot lock come lose and even off because of the slack.
Can u do more of these
Great video! Song?
Could you do more double footlock please I really enjoyed this and learned them all
There are loads more double footlock moves on academy.uniqueaerialists.com/ :)
Muy Buena
Me encanta tu material
subtitulos en español estarian genial !!!
Saludos de colombia
Waiting for your new video
Hi Unique Aerialists! I was wondering why my foot locks come out when I do split rolls and how to stop it. Btw you have amazing videos they help me sooooooo much. Almost all of the tricks I know are from you! Keep up the fantastic work!
Hi yay I'm so pleased you find them useful! The most common reason for footlocks coming off when doing splits rolls is due to slack in the silks, try to keep your legs straight and keep pressure on the silks in your feet :)
Unique Aerialists thx a lot I tried it and it worked amazingly! Ur the best ❤️
What song is this is so good
Thanks! Can you explain why my knees are slipping from the x knee hang? I end up with me hanging from my feet.
How did you set up your silks indoors??
Do you have any tips on how to get upside down on the butterfly? I keep trying but I just can’t get it.
I love your videos. Just started doing silks and bought some for my house. They seem to be not as thick as the ones at class and mine stretch more. What kind of fabric do you use?
Thank you so much! Mine are medium stretch silks from Firetoys, I think they were their own brand but I bought them a few years ago so can't remember exactly :)
I bought my silks from amazon here's a link,
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MWBDYXM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A3DXZBH45DK51Y&psc=1 I found that they where pretty thick if that is what you are looking for
Ok I’m new to aerial silks are my foot locks supposed to hurt my feet really bad because they hurt really bad
Every time I try to go down onto my knee hand I fall any tips?
Another great way to get into double dance locks is to go one or two climbs up, wrap each of your ankles twice while holding yourself up, and then do a pull up and bend your knees, then put your feet into the loops or stirrups that appear at the same time. This really helps you get even foot locks, especially if you let your weight sink down into the double wrap before doing your pull up.
Yep, there are a few different types of footlocks, the one I have done in this video is a figure of 8 footlock, the one you're describing is an egg beater footlock :) tutorials for these plus the other types of footlocks are on academy.uniqueaerialists.com/ :)
How do you flip over into Frog? I keep trying and it doesn’t work! Any tips??
By the way... the splits roll is called a roll up :) .
The names vary so much from place to place!
Very helpful video 😘
What is the size of silk fabric.?
thank you! The ceiling is 15ft so I think the silks are about 35ft, can't remember exactly :)
What song?
What song is this?
Anyone know that song??
Hi
What is this song?
Do you have any tips for the back leg un spits roll to not end up so high?
Hi for the silks to stay low on your leg you need to lean your body down when you do the roll so your back foot will be higher than your hips, hope that helps!
Song?
Do you have any tips on the butterfly? I have been practicing but I just can't seem to get it!
Hi the butterfly is such a deceptively hard move! When you're in the X make sure the cross is on your back not on your butt and the silks aren't too tight in your armpits. Keep legs straight and wide. Pull up first to give yourself some slack then lean back and really push on the silks. Use your core to lift your legs up as you lean back. Hope that helps!
Who know this song in and out because you have watch these videos so many times
Please tell me what rigging and silks you use? Is it a sling or two separate strands?
Hi, I have a link in the description box of all my videos to where I buy my equipment :) most of my equipment from Firetoys, these are the silks I have www.firetoys.co.uk/aerial-circus/aerial-acrobatics/aerial-silks/firetoys-silks.html and it is one piece of fabric :) if you buy anything from Firetoys you can use my code to get a discount uniqueaerialists hope that helps!
What is the song playing in the double footlock video?? Thanks!!
The song is called all the same
Is there any more drops that you can show in a video
Hi I have videos called Aerial Silks Intermediate Drops and Aerial Silks Knot Drops which show lots of drops :)
When I do the tear drop my knee gets bent and it feels awful like it's gonna dislocate andyway wondering if that's just normal
No that doesn't sound good! Make sure you keep your legs, core etc engaged throughout to prevent dropping into your joints. Without seeing you doing it it's really difficult to advise on what you're doing wrong, show your instructor if you can or if you don't have access to an instructor you could watch a tutorial to learn how to do it :) this is my in depth tutorial for the teardrop including common mistakes academy.uniqueaerialists.com/courses/intermediate-moves-silks/lectures/12142571
I made a ariel gor myself it's easy
What aerial silk move do you think is the easiest?
Also I'm not allowed to do aerial silks because my parents are really overprotective cuz when I when young I got hit in the head with a broken tennis racket so I can't do any dangerous stunts 😓
Hi, a figurehead is the first move I teach :) silks can be really dangerous but with a good instructor the risk is hugely minimised :)
How can you go into the X? I try to cross the silks behind my back, but the ropes were too tight, and I could not cross them.
Hi, the X is a tricky one! The full, in depth tutorial along with the common mistakes is here academy.uniqueaerialists.com/courses/beginner-moves-silks/lectures/11986620 :)
Hi! to do a "Splits Roll" how much extra length do you need on the floor for your silks? It seems like you have more than the usual 1 yard extra length on the floor.
Hi you don't need extra for the splits roll as you're rolling up the fabric not down it :)
@@UniqueAerialists Oh right.. In general, how much extra fabric should you have on the floor? Also, what the name of the song and artist of this video? My daughter loves it.
Hi, what's the name of the song and artist in this video?
Can the airplane also be done with eggbeater wraps?
Yes :)
Pleas New vidéo ps: y am frenche😊
I was so excited to start aerial silks but I can’t now due to covid-19. I found a good silk with rigging equipment on upliftactive.com and I have an 8 foot 8 inch covered outdoor space to rig, along with a mat to go underneath. Is this enough space and should I try to self teach at home?
Hi, yay I'm so jealous of you being able to train at home! 8 foot is high enough to do alot of beginner moves and conditioning exercises. The best way to learn is with an instructor in person, as this isn't possible at the moment the next best way is to join a tutorial site, there are a few available so it's worth doing some research to see what format of tutorials works best for you. I have hundreds of silks tutorials on academy.uniqueaerialists.com which are broken down step by step with slow motion and close up shots to help you see the awkward angles, they have audio and written instruction, and have common mistakes so if you can't quite get a move you will be able to understand what you're doing wrong, and they're split into categories eg beginner, intermediate, advanced, so you know you're doing a level appropriate move. This all replicateshow I teach my students in person. Please, please, please don't attempt to learn aerial silks off any video that's not a tutorial like I described above, there are usually things you can't see on a video that need to be explained that will make learning the move much safer and easier. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions :)
Thank you so much!
How long are your aerial?
Hi my ceiling is 15ft, my silks are just over double that :)
Is it just me or are your silks thinner than most? Did you cut them?
Nope these are standard size silks, they're from Firetoys :)
I'm 16 and just got my silks and I'm very weak and not very flexible, but I've always wanted to join a circus. Do you think I would be able to or did I start too late :')
Hi yes of course, I know of loads of people who have a career in circus/aerial arts who didn't start until they were adults, as long as you're committed and work hard there should be no reason why you can't follow your dream!
dudeee this makes me so confused😭😭
we call the "butterfly" a spotter and whenever i try to find a tutorial on spotter (or something else that has a different name) i cannot find it :/
Where do I get a silk?
I get my silks from Firetoys :) you can use the code uniqueaerialists for a 10% discount :)
I tryed the butterfly but i can't do the splits yet :|
You don't need to be able to to the splits (or even be close!) to do the butterfly :)
COMO. LOASES
How the heck do you x the back lol having such a hard time
It's such a tricky move! The full, in depth tutorial for the x is on academy.uniqueaerialists.com :)
What is this song called 😍😍
Its called all the same
I can never get my footlocks even and I tire myself out just undoing them and redoing them
3:28
Maybe straighten your leg on the splits at the beginning if u can
Thank you for the advice :) this video is 3 years old so my technique has massively improved since this was filmed!
does anyone know why my foot locks hurt? is that normal?
It's really common for footlocks to hurt when you're first learning. To reduce it, make sure your footlock is in the correct place (ask your instructor to show you or watch a tutorial, my tutorial for a footlock is here academy.uniqueaerialists.com/courses/locks-and-inverts/lectures/11447094 ) and make sure the silks aren't twisted or bunched up around your foot. Try to practise footlocks little and often to build your resistance to them :)
Unique Aerialists thank you so much!
I am just getting started with drops so please don’t go so hard on me on me
I call butterfly X back
There are so many different names for moves :)
Struggling with the butterfly
does anyone else call butterfly cross-back straddle?
Yep, it has a few different names depending on where you're based :)
Sorry, what I meant was that I couldn't tell where to put my hands. I'm partly blind and I couldn't see I'm only 10 so I get amotional
I don't have silks so I'm using my bed sheets they hold my weight I'll work with what I have lol
I don’t get how u all have mounts but not silks lol like getting silks was the easy part for me lol I have to tree rig mine cause the mounts r hard to do
Whats no is good ×whats is bad
And no good
This was horrible introctions on how to do the teer drop 👎
Hi, I didn't include any instructions on how to do the teardrop? Or instructions for any of the moves? This isn't a tutorial video, which is why there were no instructions. If you're looking for in depth tutorials, I have tutorials which include audio and written instruction, slow motion shots, close up shots, different angles, common mistakes and linked pre-requisites for all of these moves on academy.uniqueaerialists.com/ :)
What song is this?
Hi
