Do yo want to understand aerial on a deeper level?
Teacher training doesn’t just make you a teacher, it makes you a better aerialist. Understanding progressions, safety, and cueing will completely change how you train. Many students take this training to deepen their own practice, understand their body better, and gain confidence. Teaching afterwards is optional.
Join us for a transformative aerial silks teacher training workshop with Waverly Jones of Empyrean Arts! Whether you're a new instructor or looking to refine your teaching skills, this comprehensive training will provide you with the tools, techniques, and confidence to teach aerial silks safely and creatively.
This Aerial Teacher certification is an in-depth approach to learning how to teach aerial silks for beginner Level 1 and Level 2 instructors.
