WORKSHOP SERIES: AERIAL SILKS with Diana Martins Aerial Silks offers you a graceful way to express yourself as you climb and wrap your body in the silks, creating strong and elegant lines. Come experiment in a new freedom as you leave the ground and challenge your body and mind to move like never before. This 'Workshop Series' has workshops with different technical levels: - If you're a begginer, you’ll have a full experience of Aerial Silks practice. Each beginners workshop is alternated with an supervised Aerial Training. On the workshop you learn the skills, on the Aerial Training you practice what you’ve learnt with Diana’s guidance and supervision.
