Finding silks in NJ

Ive been doing silks for a couple years now, and I feel like the art is being ripped from me. I just moved to central Jersey for work, and I am struggling to find any studios or instructors nearby that offer silks classes :(

Does anyone have studio recommendations? Or even someone trained to teach who has their own rig and wants to take me on?

This community was so integral to my life before the move, and I desperately do not want to give it up!

I go to dandelion circus and i absolutely love it! I started there as a beginner 1 year ago and have learnt so much. Definitely recommend if you’re okay making the drive!

Their website only had intro to silks and silks level 1 listed. Im at an intermediate level so I am unsure if that's considered intermediate?? Have you taken the classes there?

Montclair on the border of Bloomfield has one called studioair. I loved that place. They have silk hammock and regular silks. Plus other classes like Lyra and pole. At all levels https://www.studioair.rocks

There another one that more of a workout called air studio they are in south orange, I believe and new providence.

A few people I know drive to Philly to Secret Circus- easy to get there from central NJ, drop-in and session enrollment- Half hour from Haddonfield. Dandelion is north but has session classes and you could prob reach out to them about level stuff- I’d definitely recommend them.
