I started my instructor training at the beginning of 2021, with an open mind. I was keen to develop my skills and further my knowledge of aerial arts. I am an advanced student who was simply looking for more, and a way to build my career. More skills, more knowledge and more education. That's when I discovered fantasy aerial arts training program and I jumped at the opportunity. I have been closely mentored by Holly who has been a world of knowledge, whilst also been presented with the opportunity to learn from her senior trained instructors Sarah and Jade. I have evolved not only as a junior instructor in the program, but also as a performer and aerialist. I can't wait to see what the future of the course, and the opportunities it will present look like.

I've had instructor training with Holly, and Fantasy, for over 3 years, and I've gained so much knowledge on technique and teaching students. I use all of the skills Holly has taught me, and continues to teach me, to successfully and safely teach each and every Fantasy student. The knowledge I've gained from Holly's training had not only helped me to train students to performance level, but had also given me a chance to focus on my own technique. My confidence in teaching all ages aerial arts has sky-rocketed. I've gone from a junior instructor to a senior instructor within a year, which has helped me to build confidence in my own ability to teach all apparatuses to the highest quality.
