Why I Love Aerial Fun and Fitness
Teacher TidbitsTeacher Tidbits Corner: Janice Giannini For anyone who doesn’t know me, I started with Zina/AFF about 7 years ago. Initially, it was to get stronger for my creative arts ballroom dancing. I went through teacher training and realized I can do this; it’s a lot of fun. I was not the most adventuress student initially. […]

Engage Your Core?!
Teacher TidbitsTechnique Tips from Kelsey “What does it mean when your teacher tells you to “engage your core?!” Your core is your foundation for all other movements. When you are able to consistently engage your core muscles, all of your upper and lower body movements will be more controlled.
