Aerials Done Right Course — Week 1 Video Upload
Hey everyone! 👋 How’s your homework coming along? When you’re ready, you can start posting your video for feedback. Please upload a short video of:Aerial Preparation Step #1 - The Takeoff Try to post your video by Wednesday so there’s time to review it and give you feedback before our next lesson on Friday. It doesn’t need to be perfect — just show where you’re at, and you’ll get feedback to help you improve. Keep practicing throughout the week. Repetition really matters when you’re learning each new step. Can’t wait to see your work! — Miss Melissa
