Woo Hoo, you’re ready for WEEK TWO! 🩵 Last week you learned the takeoff. This week we add the Cartwheel. Step 2 of the Aerial 4-Step System: - Jump, just like Step 1 - Land back on the front foot, and - Circle the arms back and around, then cartwheel out Here’s the part worth knowing before you watch the lesson. Most of your students will spend most of their time right here on Step 2. It’s the step you’ll keep coming back to, so it’s worth getting right. And the landing matters more than you’d think. Land square on one foot, then present the upper body. Never square the hips off to the audience. There’s a bonus video on the landing technique in this week’s module too. Don’t skip it! Head to the lesson here 👉 https://www.skool.com/acrodanceschool/classroom/fd206d18?md=df314c28eefc45ec884da4ed22b8ea80

Welcome to the 30-Day Aerials Intensive! 💥 I’m so glad you’re here. Over the next 30 days, we’re working through the Aerial 4-Step System together, one step a week. You’ll learn the step, teach it in your own class, and come back to tell us how it went. Start with the Welcome lesson. It explains exactly how this works 👉 https://www.skool.com/acrodanceschool/classroom/fd206d18?md=a114e6e8ecf44f92b59c85a4b0d57426 Then come back and post below. And after you post, leave a comment on the person above you. 👆 POST THIS IN THE COMMENTS I’M IN ✅ Where I’m starting from: The class I’ll be using for this Intensive: The ages of my students in this class: The biggest challenge or frustration I’m having with aerials right now: What I’m most excited to get out of this 30-Day Intensive: Where you’re starting from can be: brand new (never attempted aerials), fixing aerials, taking it from a run to a step, trying a new method, or something else. I’ve gone first below. Don't forget to comment on the teacher above you to show your support of your fellow colleagues:) Looking forward to reading your kick off post! 💜 Miss Melissa

Curious to see how everyone divides up their training classes? Does level 1 only do x y z skills for example. Looking to change my class formats and just need some inspiration! Thank you!

You asked, so we’re doing it. 💥 When I posted about aerials in here a while back, a lot of you put your hands up, and I’ve had messages ever since asking when it’s happening. The last time we did an aerials challenge together was back in 2021. It’s time. The 30-Day Aerials Intensive starts this Thursday, October 22. 💥🔥🤩 For 30 days, we’re working through the ADTA 4-Step System for teaching side aerials together, one step at a time. Here’s how it works: → A new lesson drops every Thursday. → You learn the step, then teach it in your own class that week. → You come back and tell us how it went: what worked, what didn’t, and what you saw. → You post your questions and student videos, so we all learn from what’s happening in real classes. Each lesson comes with clear instructions on how to run it in class, so you’ll know exactly what to do when you walk in. One thing up front: your students won’t have aerials in 30 days, and that’s not the goal. The goal is that you finish knowing exactly what to teach, in what order, and how to spot what’s going wrong. That’s what gets them there. More details are coming over the next few days. For now, I just want to know who’s in?! 💪🤓🤸‍♀️ 👇 Comment “I’m in” below, and tell me what's your biggest challenge or frustration with your aerials right now? See you Thursday! Miss Melissa

It's the first week of September. Picture two Tuesday nights. 🌙 Registration for Teacher's Certification closes this Friday at 5:00 PM MDT, so let me stop talking about systems and just show you what one actually changes. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 😮‍💨 THE FIRST ONE: You've got acro tomorrow, mixed levels, and you're on the couch with your laptop open trying to remember what you did last year. Scrolling. Looking for something that looks about right. You'll figure it out, you always do. But you'll walk in tomorrow with that same low hum (stress) you've had for years... the one that says "I hope this is enough"... ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ✨ THE SECOND ONE: You've got acro tomorrow too. Tomorrow's plan has been ready since August, because it's month one of your ADTA Teacher's Certification and you read ahead and have a plan to follow directly in class! ✅ You know what you're teaching. ✅ You know why it comes before the next thing. ✅ You know how to spot every piece of it. And if something goes sideways tomorrow, you're bringing it to your coaching call! (support, woo hoo! 🙌) You're not guessing anymore. You're running an actual program and SYSTEM! ______________________________________________________________________________________________ That's the whole difference. It was never talent, or years in, or how athletic you are. It's a system, and people beside you. 💛 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 📅 Registration for ADTA Teacher's Certification inside The Acro Circle closes Friday at 5:00 PM MDT. We all meet on the welcome call this Monday the 10th, and your first Junior class with your coach is the next day, Tuesday the 11th. And here's the part I want you to actually hear. Join Friday, and you're on the welcome call Monday, in your first class Tuesday, and you're not billed until the 14th.
