🎉 It's Exam Week!
I've been smiling all week as the certification results continue to come in. Yes, we've had so many teachers earning incredible scores (including lots of 100%s!), but the scores aren't actually what make me the proudest. What makes me proud is knowing everything that went into earning them. Over the past year, I've watched you study, teach, ask thoughtful questions, support one another, reflect on your classes, and continue showing up with a genuine desire to become better educators. That kind of commitment doesn't happen overnight, and it certainly can't be rushed. It's been amazing reading your exam reflections because they show just how much you've grown—not just in your knowledge, but in your confidence as teachers. That's what this journey has always been about. To everyone who has completed an exam this week (or has one coming up), congratulations. Thank you for trusting the process, for embracing the learning, and for being such an incredible part of this community. I'm so proud of every one of you, and I can't wait to see the impact you'll continue to have on your students. ❤️ If you've already completed your exam, I'd love for you to share one of your biggest takeaways in the comments below. What was the most valuable thing you learned throughout this certification journey?

👉 Fun Bridge Variations For Your Junior Acro Dancers
Once your junior dancers have a strong bridge with good technique, it's time to start adding variations to keep them engaged and challenge their bodies AND brains. Here are 3 fun bridge variations to play with in class: ✅ Circular Bridge ✅ Kneeling Bridge & Recover ✅ Monkey Puzzle Bridge ✅ Circular Bridge Creates beautiful movement that looks great on stage. Perform with or without the recover to standing depending on your dancers' level. 📌 Tip: Train both sides. Kneeling Bridge & Recover: This one doubles as a drill - it teaches your dancers to roll up through their spine one vertebra at a time without sinking into their low backs. Once they've got it, try it on one leg. Monkey Puzzle Bridge: A challenge for the body AND the brain. Tell your dancers where to place their hands and feet BEFORE they go upside down - it gets tricky once inverted. How it works: - Start by replacing the hand with the foot and twisting into a circular bridge - Pick up the opposite hand and foot to face the back - Continue the same motion — always opposite hand to leg, staying in a perfect square 📌 Tip: Train both directions. Start on their dominant side first. Bridge variations keep your dancers excited about a skill they already know - and give them a clear path to progress beyond the basics. Let me know which one you try first in your classes!
