Description
The Aerial Silks kit includes Aerial Dance & Acrobatics fabric (8-16m), 1 support base, 1 figure 8, 1 360° swivel, 1 small rope 1m, and 1 set of aluminum safety carabiners.
The Aerial Dance & Acrobatics Salachi fabric is a medium-high stretch acrobatic cloth with a width of 1.50m, which is available in fixed lengths of 8m, 10m, 12m, and 16m. It has moderate to high elasticity (12.5%), is made of 100% polyester, and is ideal for practicing Aerial Silks.
How do I calculate the length of Aerial Dance & Acrobatics fabric that I need?
To calculate the length of the acrobatic fabric we need, we measure the height of the ceiling where it will be placed, multiply it by 2, and add another 2m to the final result (we need 1m of fabric to hang down on the floor for each side of the fabric). E.g.
- For a ceiling height of 3m, we will need at least 3mx2=6m+2m=8m.
- For a 4m ceiling, we will need at least 4mx2=8m+2m=10m, and so on.
The kit contains all the necessary accessories needed to support the acrobatic sail.
The Aerial Dance & Acrobatics Fabric is usually mounted on a Figure8, which keeps the two legs of our Aerial Silk apart at an ideal distance, helping for an easier climb on the fabric while protecting it from wear and tear, especially in the mounting spot. You can see how exactly you tie the Aerial Silk to the Figure8 in this video.
Using the swivel, our sail rotates 360 degrees.
Finally, the rope we use can be tied to a ceiling support base or to a beam (iron or wood), always after checking its strength and stability.
Make it yours for safe and easy setup!
