Hi Aerial’ers 👋 It’s time to post your Module 5 homework!! This week is all about meeting yourself where you’re at and getting lots of quality reps in. Here’s how to choose what to post: 👉 Option 1: Record your FULL AERIALChoose this if you’re able to do one or you feel ready to confidently go for it. 👉 Option 2: Record the STEP you’re currently working onIf you’re still building, that’s totally okay. Stay with the step that feels strong and controlled for you: Step 2, Step 3, or Step 4. There’s no rush to move on. Repetition is what builds your aerial — not forcing the next step too soon. For this week’s homework: • Record a short video of your full aerial or • Record the step you’re currently training 📌 Important: When you post your video, please write which step you’re performing so I know exactly what you’re working on. Go practice, film your progress, and post it here in the chat, it doesn’t need to be perfect — progress comes from layering the steps properly. Can’t wait to see your videos! — 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
