Ask any aerialist, and they'll tell you: everything leads to belay. This workshop dives into the endless possibilities of this iconic silk wrap. From classic setups to creative entries, you’ll refine your technique, expand your repertoire, and unlock the secret to effortlessly navigating the belay’s twists and turns.
It’s a day of focus, flow, and the kind of fabric magic that makes aerial silks so addictively fun. You’ll leave with tired arms, a full brain, and the satisfying realization that yes, belay really is the answer to everything.
Prerequisites: Basic aerial silk theory, able to climb, invert, comfortable spending a few minutes in the air at a time, and an appreciation for the elegance of a well-tied knot.
Fallon is the founder and artistic director of In the Wings. She is a proud Colorado native and has been involved in gymnastics and dance since early childhood. After injuries prevented her from pursuing her gymnastics career, she studied dance under Tony Coppola at Mesa State College. Fallon was introduced to aerial dance in 2010 and instantly fell in love with the art form. She started her training at Frequent Flyers as a member of the apprentice company and spent 6 years with Iluminar Aerial where she wore many hats including Assistant Director. Over the years, Fallon has studied with many different companies and artists including Tanya Burka, Annabelle D’Artois, Daniel Sullivan, Ukoiya Mastin, Elsie Smith, TSNY-LA, the Imperial Flyers High Flying Trapeze Club, and most recently with Hanne Coeckelberghs and Justine Arden. Outside of dance, Fallon is a dedicated GI nurse who enjoys sneaking away to Paris whenever possible, cleaning up French Bulldog and Cane Corso drool, and murder mystery nights with friends.
