ABOUT TRAINING

VAMPS currently offers Level 1 Aerial Silks Teacher Training in collaboration with Rapt Aerial Dance Company in Austin, Texas. 

You will gain the tools and knowledge to properly and safely create and lead Level 1 Aerial Fabric classes, whether "drop-ins" or 4-6 week ongoing courses. Suggested class structures, durations, and sizes are discussed so you will be able to mold and modify the curriculum to suit your studio and students. Each class and configuration of students will be different and have different needs.

​We focus on what we believe to be the main goals for Level 1 and Beginner Students:
1. Developing safety, comfort and grounding in the apparatus and in the air.  
2. Developing orientation and body awareness in the apparatus. 
3. Building basic vocabulary. 
4. Conditioning. 
Just wanted to let you know that I just finished the spring semester classes at my dance studio and they had their finales last night. It went exceptionally well! I incorporated what I learned with you all into my classes after the training and it really helped give me direction and confidence. - Alissa Maggard

*** Most trainings are tailored to your needs.  We get groups that are opening new studios that need help with their starting curriculum and teacher training. We also have training for teachers who are independent contractors wanting to start offering Aerial Silks Classes but can not find training in how to teach beginners. 
​Get in touch with us and lets talk.  We also offer business training for those needing assistance in getting their studio off the ground in 60 days or less! vampsdance@gmail.com




I started teaching my classes a little over a month ago, & I've absolutely loved being able to look back at the videos for reference points. - Amanda Warren
