Hi teachers! We’ve officially been up and running inside Acro Dance School for over a month now! It's been great watching you all come in and start to get settled into the community and your courses. I’ve been paying close attention to how you’re using the space, what you’re engaging with most, and what feels helpful. One thing I’ve noticed is that this community really shines when: • teachers are asking real questions • sharing challenges and wins • supporting each other naturally And I also know that having too many scheduled prompts each week can start to feel like “another thing to keep up with.” So moving forward, I’m going to simplify things a bit to keep this space feeling organic, helpful, and easy to be part of: 👉 I’ll be sharing a weekly teaching insight - with a tip, video, or topic we can discuss together. 👉 The rest of the week will stay open for you to post questions, wins, videos, and conversations with each other. 👉 And we're going to officially kick off the Acro Employment Opportunities (the job posting board) - stay tuned for this - we'll be formalizing this process here in the group shortly. The goal is for this to feel like a supportive professional community alongside your courses and workshops - all in one place. Before I lock this in, I’d love your quick input below 👇 Which do you prefer for the community?

Welcome to Acro Dance School — the home for Acro Dance educators worldwide. This is a community-first space created for teachers who care deeply about their craft, about teaching with integrity, and about growing together. Acro Dance School exists to support Acro Dance teachers — many of whom have worked without a shared professional community — in becoming confident, connected educators who teach with clarity, structure, and intention. This is not just a place to access programs. It's a place to belong — and to grow. 🌍 What you’ll find here: • A global community of Acro Dance teachers • Conversations around teaching, safety, structure, and student progress • A space to ask real questions and share real experiences • Resources, programs, and courses all in one place 🤍 How this community supports your growth: This community thrives on participation. Here, you don’t have to figure things out on your own. Ask questions. Share what’s working in your classes. Celebrate wins. Work through challenges together. Learn from educators who value foundations, safety, and long-term progress. You don’t need to have everything figured out to belong here - that’s what this space is for. 👋 Start here Introduce yourself in the comments below in this thread: • Where are you teaching from? • How long have you been teaching Acro Dance?
