Aerial SLING Teacher Trainings

About
The following courses are part of the Born to Fly Aerial Teacher Certificate Program. All who meet the prerequisites are welcome to train with us, and the certificate is optional. Teaching Philosophy and Methods Aerial fabric is the most popular apparatus in recreational programs. However, starting students with climbs may not be the most accessible way to begin an aerial journey. If you teach early beginners, we highly recommend (but do not require) starting the Aerial Sling 1 Teacher Training. In the Born to Fly methodology, we expose our students to fabric theory early on through puzzles and challenge their artistry through creative tasks. Our goal is to develop an aerialist’s strength, intelligence, and artistry simultaneously so nothing gets left behind. We ask students to spend more time with each skill, which allows them to build strength over a longer period of time before progressing to the next level. |

Prerequisites:
All participants must submit an audition video (see below).
Audition Video:
Create an intermediate sling performance piece that could be taught to an intermediate group of students. The piece must be a minimum of 2 minutes in length and no longer than 4 minutes. Please e-mail a link to your video (or your video itself) to info@aerialworkscastlerock.com for review. Thanks.
Required Reading: Order books here.
What You Will Learn: This training focuses on Level s Sling skills as well as spotting, safe practices, teaching methods, and classroom management. We strongly emphasize progressions, particularly to develop strong inversions. At the end of the week, you will walk away with 12-18 months of studio teaching material. You will work with the classic sling skills as well as several variations and sequences we’ve developed over the years.
Skills in the sling help develop fundamental technique for all aerial apparatuses. We will learn the proper techniques of furthering study on the sling, developing proper strength for inversions and utilizing core connection to find efficient pathways of movement. We will study categories of movement on the sling, helping students to develop the "aerial brain" that is vital to creating new, unique works of art with the sling.
All participants must submit an audition video (see below).
