What are your must haves on your competition packing list? A special candy? A lucky charm? A go-to ritual? Tell us, we want to know!

Have you ever wanted to know what the audition process is like to be a member of the Acro Worlds Team? Or what it is like to prepare and compete on an international stage? This Friday we are dropping an exclusive interview with Kiera S and her longtime Acro Teacher and Mentor Miss Courtney! The countdown is one and it will only be shared here in the Safe and Successful Acro Dancer Community!

Hi Aerial'ers 👋 It’s time to start posting your Week 3 homework when you’re ready. This week you have two options — dancer’s choice based on readiness: 👉 Option 1: AERIAL Step #2 – The Lift (again, to clean it up and build more power) 👉 Option 2: AERIAL Step #3 – Jumping directly onto the hands Only move on to Step 3 if Step 2 feels strong and controlled. If Step 3 feels scary or rushed — that’s a sign to keep working Step 2 a bit longer (and that’s totally okay!). For Step 3, focus on: • Swinging the arms fully back before bringing them around • Jumping up and forward onto the hands (not stepping into it) • Letting the cartwheel motion finish naturally Please upload a short video of whichever step you’re working on by Wednesday so there’s time for feedback before Friday’s lesson. It doesn’t need to be perfect - just show where you’re at. Progress comes from layering the steps properly. Repetition is key. Keep practicing throughout the week. Can’t wait to see your videos! — Miss Melissa
