Student of the Month - Shepherd - Age 11

When did you start at Aerial Fun & Fitness? I started in August 2023.

Why did you start aerials? I started aerials because it looked fun! I first saw it on YouTube and that made me want to try it. I love to try new things.

What made you come back and stick with it? I really liked the people. Everyone was really nice. I love aerial

What would you tell someone just starting aerial fitness? Keep trying and do your best. It can be hard at first but don’t give up!

What have been some of your challenges? Some tricks are challenging if you try them for the first time. But after trying them a few times, I can figure it out.

What apparatuses do you train on? I do hammock, lyra, and sling.

Your favorite pose(s), and why do you like it? All drops, cross back, seahorse, and double horse. I like drops because they’re scary at first but after you’ve done it, it’s fun! Something I like about cross back is it’s challenging at first, then you can learn to do a lot of things from it. Seahorse is pretty, fun, and you can do perch from it! I love the drops from double horse. 

One word that defines you? Courageous. I’m not scared to try new and challenging things!

What path would you like aerial to take for you? I want to perform in concerts, musicals, and the circus!
