In February 2023, Green & Blue Studios will host south-east London’s My Aerial Home (MAH) for a week long Aerial Teacher Training course.

This course is aimed at aerialists or performers who want to acquire the skills necessary to pass on their hard-earned knowledge and existing teachers who may want to build on their skills.

The course offers an in-depth and holistic approach to teaching, in a secure, professional and welcoming training environment. Students will be provided with an overview to the art of teaching four core aerial skills: 

1. Trapeze 

2. Hoop 

3. Silks 

4. Rope

Course leader: Amanda Miles

The course is lead by Amanda Miles, the founder of My Aerial Home and Air Dance Productions and a big name in the world of Aerial. She has choreographed many aerial pieces for companies such as P & O and Lotus Cars and celebrities such as Naughty Boy (MOBO Awards) and is currently executive producer on seven new aerial shows for a new ship, The Arvia for Carnival Cruises.

Amanda also runs My Aerial Home (Sydenham, South East London) and has been training both hobby aerialists and professional performers for almost 15 years.

Our teacher training programme is designed to make the trainers think about aerial teaching in a holistic manner. From muscles and movement to head and health.

This Teacher training programme has spawned 12 new aerial spaces (and counting!) in London, the UK around the world. At Green and Blue Studios we are proud to be one of them and so grateful to Amanda for her ongoing advice and support.
