You have a demanding job, insane schedule and/or family that needs you. You’ve got lots of responsibilities and not enough time to train so you miss a class here and a couple months there. You feel like you just can’t get momentum and this inconsistency holds you back.
There’s some skills that you just can’t get passed, halting your progression. You put in the work but you’re on an aerial hamster wheel without the tools and instruction to troubleshoot these problems. You dream about progressing to advanced silks work, but without a strong ___ or ___ , you don’t know the path forward.
You jump around to random classes and teachers. Perhaps you enjoy the diversity but maybe it’s because the lack of options due to your location or schedule. You often learn really cool stuff, but do it once and never again. One class teaches a trick that the teacher created that you’ll never see again and another demonstrates the third level of a drop when you haven’t learned the first. Your brain is an aerial breakfast scramble and you can’t seem to make any headway.
You learn most of your skills on the internet. Open gym for you consists of a process of trial and error as you attempt to figure out which hand goes where when the demonstrator is rotating in the most inconvenient way. You piece together an aerial practice without having much verbal instruction, explanations or structure.
You’ve gotten pretty far and can do all the tricks and drops but you feel like a trick robot. You’re itchingh to develop your movement quality, dance ability and style in the air.
You’ve taken class for 1, 2, 5 or even 10 years but somehow, you’ve never learned ___ or ___ , which holds you back from learning ___ . You yearn to fill in the gaps but it feels weird to ask or you don’t even know who to ask.
Living in a small town has it’s perks but maybe there aren’t any silks instructors much less the option to shop around for the right teacher. You occasionally travel and train, but it’s expensive and unrealistic to do all the time. Inadvertently, you become a mixture of all these types.
You’ve got your own rig at home and it’s awesome! Except is it always? It’s great but you crave structure and guidance.
Last but not least, the aerialist at any level who is hungry to learn, grow and take off to advanced choreography as quick, safe and cost effective as humanly possible.

I want to get to the next level but I don't have access to my own aerial rig. How can I practice what I am learning?
Great question! Most aerial studios offer open gym where you pay a small rental fee in exchange for having access to aerial points. Once you’ve downloaded the module videos and resources, you can take them anywhere. Practice with all your new tools with the comfort and safety of a crash pad and supervisor.
Another option is to purchase your own free standing rig from a reputable rigger. If you’re at the beginning of your journey, I would suggest sticking with an open gym option because of the layer of safety that comes with a supervisor. If you’ve been in your practice for quite a while, this might be a good option for you.
