SOLD BY THE YARD

QTY 1 = 1 YARD

This is an ideal aerial fabric for both aerial yoga and aerial dance, featuring a beautiful flow and one-way stretch. With a width of 108", it is perfectly suited for aerial yoga hammocks and provides an excellent grip width for both beginner and advanced aerialists when used for aerial dance. The fabric is made from 100% low-stretch polyester.

To order, select your desired color and enter the total amount needed in yards into the quantity box. To calculate the yardage, divide the total length required in feet by 3. It is recommended to round up to ensure you have enough fabric for your needs.

Order Example:

You need 30 feet of aerial fabric to make a 15 foot silk

30 feet / 3 = 10 yards

Enter 10 in the QTY field

Please note that, due to the custom nature of each order, processing may take 7–10 business days.

SOLD BY THE YARD. Interlock fabric has a 2-way stretch and more bounce! This fabric is also narrow at only 60″ wide and is recommended for intermediate to advanced level aerial dancers.

Select your color choice then enter the total amount of aerial fabric needed in yards into the quantity box. To calculate the amount in yards divide the total length needed in feet by 3. We suggest rounding up to ensure you have enough fabric to work with.

Example: Need 15 feet of fabric. Divide 15 by 3 = 5 yards of fabric.

Tech Tip

Aerial fabric will lose its stretch/bounce as it gets used. We recommend inspecting your aerial fabric before each use to look for minor tears, holes, etc. Fabric that shows signs of tears/holes etc. should be retired immediately. The tears/holes will most likely occur at the tie-in point (rigging plate, rescue 8, hollow block prusik), so it is important to inspect your rigging connections as well and also rotate the location of tie-in about once a month, depending on how often your fabric is used.

Aerial Fabric is machine washable. We suggest machine wash with a mild detergent on delicate cycle and tumble dry on low.

Aerial Fabric is non-returnable/non-refundable. To ensure you receive the correct color and quantity, please call us to receive help with placing your order.

***The color shown may differ slightly to the actual color. If you would like a small color swatch give us a call and we will be happy to send a sample to you for a small shipping fee.

Due to the custom nature of each aerial fabric purchase, please allow 7-10 business days to process your order

This Kit is for riggers who have their own anchor points and LOS designed & installed. These components can be interchanged with additional carabiners, quick links (QL) or a shackle style swivel to reduce overall rigging space needs. *Fabric and rope not included with this kit.

This rigging kit is designed to sling an existing anchor point and suspend a single aerial apparatus or silk. It is an ideal choice when silk height is not a primary concern.

As a "low-profile" system, this kit is particularly suited for use in spaces with limited height, enabling users to maximize the available area. Its streamlined design minimizes obstructive rigging, allowing for greater freedom and functionality when working with silks.

The Vertical Art Dance Angel Aerial™ Rigging Plate is a versatile and innovative piece of aerial hardware, designed specifically to replace traditional rigging plates used for aerial silks.

As the first decorative-style rigging plate engineered exclusively for the aerial arts industry, it offers a unique combination of functionality and aesthetic appeal.

This rigging plate is ideal for solo or duo apparatus setups. Its design allows it to be flipped “upside down,” enabling connections to any of the available points on the plate’s surface. The ergonomically designed wings also serve as convenient handles for added versatility.

Each carabiner Point of Connection (POC) features a heat-resistant rubber ring that reduces vibrations transferred to the carabiner. This ring also secures the connector in place and enforces proper orientation, minimizing the risk of cross-loading when the plate is used as directed. Ergonomically designed, the wings of the Angel allow your hands to fit comfortably, enabling additional dance poses when the plate is used as a minor apparatus

The Aerial Angel Rigging Plate™ is also an excellent choice for connecting two separate pieces of fabric to create a striking multi-color effect or effective teaching/demonstrating tool. It provides a smooth, rounded connection point for fabrics and can also be flipped upside down to utilize the open spaces on the wing tips. You can clip into any space on this plate! In this “upside-down” configuration, the plate functions as a “spreader bar” for silks set up in hammock mode.

While not an essential rigging tool, it is a unique and versatile accessory unlike anything previously available.
