The Program
|
Born to Fly Aerial Teacher Trainings and Support is a comprehensive program featuring live and online professional development. We recognize that aerial teaching is its own art form. Our goal is to help teachers develop the technical, safety, and creative skills to help aerial students thrive.
Our program has changed significantly due to the effects of COVID-19. Currently, we are operating most training on a per-request, 1-1 over zoom basis, allowing the training to be over several months. This has been highly effective at retention and skill acquisition and we are excited to continue to offer this high-quality training as requested. However, we are returning to live trainings, which will be held once a year in Castle Rock, Colorado. This is a great time to group-train and reinforce all the main concepts of each apparatus and level. Our upcoming trainings are posted here. |

Training Options

We use Rebekah Leach's manuals as the basis for our curriculum. Her specialties are Fabric and Sling, so those trainings are most popular in our programming, but we also train in Hoop and Trapeze. Sorry, no rope, straps or aerial yoga is offered in our programming at this time.
