The Graceful Arabesque

The Arabesque on both strands is one move that’s guaranteed to take your aerial silk skills to the next level. And it’s all thanks to the unique combination of grace and strength. Begin by securing a figure-eight footlock on each silk strand. Holding the fabric above the head, lean forward and draw the free leg in a circle behind you, wrapping it around the pole of the fabric.

Swim the arm through the fabric, allowing it to run up and across the back. This will create the opposition for added security. Once stable, release the hands and feel the power and elegance of this beautiful pose.
