Meet your Instructor
Agustin, is originally from Argentina and has been living in Phoenix for two years.
He started teaching silks in 2017 right after he finished his teacher training program at “Training Shoes Studio” where he was teaching until moving to the USA.
This teacher training will be beneficial not only because you might learn new skills and tricks but also because It will help you to engage with your students as well as reaching personal goals!

Mission, vision, & values
OUR TEACHER TRAINING PHILOSOPHY
Our multi-level program guides students to master the teaching technique on their apparatus and to be able to convey information safely and confidently in their future classes. What sets our program apart from others is the focus we put on understanding how the human body moves and what is necessary to perform each movement correctly. A lot of time is spent studying techniques to keep students safe during every movement, as well as basic spotting technique for safety, learning styles, classroom management, and creative ideas.
A certificate of competency will be given upon completion of this course.
