After years of teaching aerial hoop all over the world, T has finally created a teacher training program that can help teachers all over to improve or create their aerial hoop program. The Hoop Artist Teacher Training is a great step for experienced students who are interested in teaching, newer teachers, and seasoned teachers to refine their teaching. Since 2009, T has developed a unique and effective style of teaching aerial hoop to everyone, from beginner students to professionals. The Hoop Artist Teacher Training will introduce you to the teaching techniques that have led T to international success, and will provide you with the information you need to teach aerial hoop safely and successfully.

About T, creator of Hoop ArtistT has been studying and performing aerials since 2007, and has been teaching movement in many forms since 2002. During college, he started learning aerials at the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts, where he eventually started assistant teaching. Meanwhile, T was spending every summer working at Circus Smirkus in Vermont. Focusing on the aerial hoop, T attended the New England Center for Circus Arts in their Professional Training Program from 2010-2012. While at NECCA, T was hired to lead their aerial hoop program, curating the hoop curriculum into carefully thought out levels and sequences. Since then, he has been advanced staff at Versatile Arts and SANCA in Seattle, and currently at ESH Circus Arts in Somerville, MA. T has toured the world with his workshops and classes, bringing his depth of knowledge, precision technique, and absolute safety to all the students and teachers he’s mentored. |

Level 2 Teacher Training Application:
- Make a 5-10 minute video of you teaching a class/private lesson. Please have a friend follow you around with the camera so T can see you coach, and see how you work with the student. T also needs to be able to hear what you and the student say. Putting a camera on a tripod somewhere often limits what T will be able to see/hear and make it difficult for him to make the judgement call.
- Level 2 is really aimed at people who definitely have a grasp of how bodies move in space. T is looking for anything that shows that you think about hoop in more than 2D poses; teaching fun transitions between skills, any sort of sequencing, or active moves (rolls, slides...etc) to show T that you'd be ready to take your teaching and your students to the next level of hoop "brain".
- Send T the video at HoopArtist (at) gmail (dot) com. Subject: Level 2 Training Submission by YOUR NAME.
- He will respond (usually within 24 hours) whether or not you can join the Level 2 Training.
