You asked, so we’re doing it. 💥 When I posted about aerials in here a while back, a lot of you put your hands up, and I’ve had messages ever since asking when it’s happening. The last time we did an aerials challenge together was back in 2021. It’s time. The 30-Day Aerials Intensive starts this Thursday, October 22. 💥🔥🤩 For 30 days, we’re working through the ADTA 4-Step System for teaching side aerials together, one step at a time. Here’s how it works: → A new lesson drops every Thursday. → You learn the step, then teach it in your own class that week. → You come back and tell us how it went: what worked, what didn’t, and what you saw. → You post your questions and student videos, so we all learn from what’s happening in real classes. Each lesson comes with clear instructions on how to run it in class, so you’ll know exactly what to do when you walk in. One thing up front: your students won’t have aerials in 30 days, and that’s not the goal. The goal is that you finish knowing exactly what to teach, in what order, and how to spot what’s going wrong. That’s what gets them there. More details are coming over the next few days. For now, I just want to know who’s in?! 💪🤓🤸‍♀️ 👇 Comment “I’m in” below, and tell me what's your biggest challenge or frustration with your aerials right now? See you Thursday! Miss Melissa

Since classes are still off this week, the focus is to set one clear acro teaching goal for 2026. "What is one thing you want to do better or more consistently in class next year?" Some ideas: - Improve your spotting skills this year - Be clearer and shorter with verbal cues - Break down and progress skills more effectively - Focus more on strength and flexibility - Manage class time more efficiently - Work toward a bigger skill in your classes (anyone close to aerials or backsprings?) Pick one. Write it down. Share it with us. Taking a few minutes now makes it easier to teach with intention when classes start back up next week:) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📅 Coming Up: The "Flip the Script Challenge" starts today inside the "Safe & Successful Acro Dancer" group.
