Hello fellow aerialist! I am Rebekah Leach, and I enjoy running three aerial companies: one is designed for local and global students to develop skills and perform (AerialWorks), one is a resource-based library made mostly for teachers and advanced students (Born to Fly Curriculum aka AerialDancing.com), and one is a certification program for teachers (Born to Fly Aerial Teacher Training Programs).
I run annual events which bring together aerialists from all over the world to nerd out on various topics. Right now, the two big annual events (which are currently online only) are the Aerial Brain-Train-cation which is held at the beginning of the summer. And the second is the Aerial Nerd Conference which is typically held in Sept-Oct. Both of these events are geared towards looking at a deeper understanding of pathways on various aerial apparatuses. The brain-traincation is a weeklong event which has a performance focus alongside the training. The Aerial Nerd Conference is a collection of workshops.
When I teach or create resources, it's all part of the larger vision, in which I am committed to building and setting standards for the highest quality education for the aerial arts. I love to see aerial being used as a vehicle for changing our culture into one that empowers everyone to get strong both physically, mentally and spiritually. I love seeing aerial as a means to cultivate health in all areas of life. Aerial is a great way to bring a community of people together to have a good time and support the growth of good things in each other's lives.
By the way, I still consider aerial a hobby of mine.
I love what I do! :)
