And when you do spot the place, it feels like you need a password to get in. But just swing the door open to uncover a cavernous space with five lengths of shimmery fabric, a hoop, and a trapeze hanging from the ceiling. The <strong>AERIAL SILKS INTRO\/BEGINNER<\/strong> of just a few people starts out with stretching and some Pilates, and then moves on to what you\u2019re really there for: the circus stuff. You\u2019ll get your own silk (actually a super-strong nylon-cotton blend) and learn to weave it artfully around your arms, all the better for lifting yourself into various positions, like \u201clegs straight out in front of you\u201d or \u201clegs bent like a dancer\u2019s.\u201d Then owner\/instructor Mary Brumbaugh, who opened her studio in 2012, will knot your silk so you can stand on it, sit, or do cool poses. Moves like the Coffin\u2014lying down, back straight as a plank, stretching the silk as wide as possible\u2014involve wrapping parts of your body with the silk to help maintain balance. But don\u2019t worry; you\u2019re never more than a few feet off of the mat-covered floor, at least in the intro class. You will, however, notice slightly throbbing triceps for the next few days. <em>$20 per class. 617 N.
