I’m the creator of Wrap Your Head Around Silks and a life-long dancer turned aerialist and instructor.
You’ve all met the person who steps into their first class and effortlessly inverts when shown how. Well, that wasn’t me. Instead of taking one or two steps to do the full expression of a skill, I did five or six. It turned into an approach of micro-progressions and specificity that I have found is pretty rare in the teaching industry.

Retail aerial differs from the professional circus world in many ways and to be successful in a studio setting, we as teachers need to know how to navigate the average jane stepping into their first class without the benefit of previous movement training.

This spring 2024, I’m offering a 50-hour fully virtual Silks Level One Course over the most of April. This course is similar to a pilates teacher training structure and will be geared towards creating “classroom ready” instructors.
It’s a comprehensive course that covers the entire foundation of silks including conditioning, climbs, poses, base wraps, rotational & drop technique.
12 hours of zoom lectures cover the jam-packed text book including step-by-step technique and progressions for each skill, cue training and functional anatomy & injury prevention. I’ll provide you with tools to navigate in-class modification for multi-level classes, equip you with a high-level of safety standard for all of the skills in the course and teach you methods to create class programing & sequencing.
24 hours of skill & teaching practice are focused on you executing the curriculum yourself and teaching volunteer students. Film your assignments and turn them in for personalized feedback.
14 hours of independent study include reading assignments, barbie wrapping practice, quizzes and assignments such as…
