Teaching aerial arts might be a bucket list dream for you. Beginning with a teacher training is the absolute best way to get your toes wet and see if teaching aerial would be a good addition to your life. 

 

Existing Teachers Who Want to Further Their Education.

There is always more to learn and keeping up with continuing education is an important thing for any teacher to do. If you are a teacher from another studio, you will surely find new information in our training to further your skill set.

 

Recreational Aerialists Who Want to Dive Deeper

This training will have a heavy focus on teaching skills but we will also dive deep into the fundamentals program for the apparatus you choose to study.
