Can I set up aerial silks outside?

sooooo at my dance studio i am taking aerial silk classes, and there is only one class a week.
but i love it so much, once a week is NOT enough lol
i have thought about ordering silk online, but my ceilings arent high enough to hang the silk from
so i was thinking maybe i could hang them from a tree outside
would that be ok?
could i leave them there or would i have to take them down after i use them?
i live in kansas city and it rains maybe once a week
what kind of fabrics would be favorable for outdoor use?
thanks

Oh,good for you ! No silks are the bestbecause they are more pliable and body oriented. No cant use a tree, it will tear the silks. There is nothing to use that is comparable, sorry. Unless you want to strangle yourself.

thanks, but are you sure? my teacher said something about having silks hanging from a tree in her yard and before she was a teacher, she would have friends over and she would teach them every once in a while.

and i guess i should restate the second part.
since there are different fabric combinations to make up silks because they're not just 100% silk, which fabric make-up would be best?
