I just recently got back into aerials (silks focus) after about a 2 year break, due to life and health issues. I am very fortunate to have learned from professionally trained aerialists - where form and safety was rigorously stressed. With what feels like a recent burst in popularity in aerials, and no required certificate for someone to be an instructor, what are your thoughts/opinions on being professionally trained versus students learning either from other non-professionally trained individuals and/or learning off the internet? I struggle watching so many people on instagram attempt drops etc without proper form or attempt things that seem way more advanced than they should based on level of experience or their strength. I really wish it didn't bother me, but it does!
