I have to take a moment, because our first VIP student is officially in: @Esmae Russell Esme, welcome. The VIP seats are special because VIP students are the ones who say "I'm not just here to participate — I'm here to go deep." They get more personalized feedback from me, closer access throughout the program, and real influence on how Acro Tech evolves from here. If that's the energy you've been sitting with — VIP FOUNDING MEMBER spots are still open until Thursday at 5pm MDT. Comment "VIP" below and I'll send you the details directly. Esme — I can't wait to work with you. 💜

Hi Aerial’ers 👋 It’s time to post your Module 5 homework!! This week is all about meeting yourself where you’re at and getting lots of quality reps in. Here’s how to choose what to post: 👉 Option 1: Record your FULL AERIALChoose this if you’re able to do one or you feel ready to confidently go for it. 👉 Option 2: Record the STEP you’re currently working onIf you’re still building, that’s totally okay. Stay with the step that feels strong and controlled for you: Step 2, Step 3, or Step 4. There’s no rush to move on. Repetition is what builds your aerial — not forcing the next step too soon. For this week’s homework: • Record a short video of your full aerial or • Record the step you’re currently training 📌 Important: When you post your video, please write which step you’re performing so I know exactly what you’re working on. Go practice, film your progress, and post it here in the chat, it doesn’t need to be perfect — progress comes from layering the steps properly. Can’t wait to see your videos! — Miss Melissa 💛

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
