I am an aerial student in Chicago. I participate at Open Gyms with a student circus club in the city, and take Aerial Silks classes at Aloft in Chicago.
I was introduced to Circus via weekly Acro Yoga jams when I lived in Hawai'i. There, I was also briefly exposed to silks, and I've seeked that out since moving back to Chicago. Here, I've mostly done silks, but have taken acrobatics classes, and have learned some introductory rope, hammock, and lyra.
