Hey everyone! 👋 It’s time for your homework this week! We’re working on: AERIAL Step #4 The Landing If you’re ready for Step 4, practice putting all the steps together smoothly. It should start feeling more fluid and closer to a real aerial. If Step 4 feels too hard, that’s okay! You can stay on Step 1, 2, or 3 — just keep practicing the step that feels strong for you. For Your homework: • Record a short video of the step you’re practicing • Write which step you’re doing in your post • Upload it in the group when you’re ready Try to post by Wednesday so you can get your feedback before Friday’s lesson. So excited to see your progress! — 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
