Aerial Hoop Beginner Teacher Training
About this training
Ready to go from loving Aerial Hoop to teaching it? The PIDS Aerial Hoop Teacher Training is where you take the first step!
Over four days, we’ll cover how the body works and moves when it’s upside down, how to cue with confidence, how to spot your students safely, and how to structure a lesson that flows. You’ll learn it by doing, surrounded by people who are just enthousiast about Aerial Hoop as you are.
By the end, you’ll have everything you need to run a Aerial Hoop Beginner class that’s safe, and fun; including a toolkit of 50+ beginner moves to build on.
This training is guided by instructors Apple, Saana, and Muyun. You will receive a manual with 50+ beginners moves and tools needed to design engaging lessons, demonstrate safe spotting, provide clear cues, guide technique progressions, and to adapt to the diverse needs of the students.
