Learn how to structure your class so no one is stuck, skipped, or overwhelmed…including you
A bite-sized course for aerial instructors at any stage
A bite-sized course for aerial instructors at any stage

You love teaching aerial and helping it click for your students.
And you know you’re good at it.
But there’s one type of class that keeps throwing you off your game.
Mixed levels. Drop-ins. Students with wildly different needs… all in the same room.
You feel like you’re pulled in 5 different directions at once.
Constantly ping-ponging between the student who’s struggling, the one who’s bored, and the one who needs your hands-on spotting.
And those hours you spent lesson planning? Out the window.
Because instead of teaching, you’re pivoting every five minutes just trying to keep the class moving.
By the end, you’re not feeling energized…you’re feeling drained. Maybe even a little defeated.
And that’s the part that really sucks. Because you don’t want to lose your love of aerial. (and we don’t want you to either!)
You can have a class that:
“I feel 200% more confident as an instructor.”

Hi, Rain and Sarah here.
We’re the co-founders of Paper Doll Militia and we’ve spent over 20 years teaching aerial arts all over the world. For the past decade we’ve focused on training instructors in our flagship Teacher Training & Certificate Program.
Paper Doll Militia has built a reputation based on our long-standing commitment to high-quality aerial education. And yes, we know the name is quirky. We started as a performance company, and it followed us into education like a loyal (and slightly weird) sidekick.
And honestly, that tracks for us. We’ve never been about doing things the “standard” way. We’re more invested in helping you stay creative and responsive to what’s actually happening in the room.

Working with the Dolls has been a dream! I’ve gained confidence in class management and have consequently increased my class sizes.

I learned so many useful teaching tools that make my life easier as an instructor. Students notice a difference in my teaching already and I have been receiving lots of positive feedback. It feels good to be a part of the PDM community of teachers.

This is designed to be quick and usable. You can go through the training video content in under one hour, plus the time to do a few short workbooks and quizzes and start applying these tools in your very next class.
Absolutely. You’re actually in the ideal scenario. It’s always better to learn these tools before the chaos hits, so you can walk in feeling prepared instead of scrambling to figure it out on the fly.
Yes. This will give you practical tools to help you refine what you’re already doing, fill in gaps, and give you more options when things aren’t working.
How is this different from a full teacher training?
This is a focused tool, not a full certification. It solves one specific problem quickly, instead of covering everything at once.
Does this apply across different apparatus (silks, rope, hoop, etc.)?
Totally. The frameworks are based on how you structure and teach, so they work across any apparatus.
We made this to be practical. Not something you watch once and forget about.
If you go through the material, try it in your classes, and it’s not clicking… email us within 14 days and we’ll refund you. Simple as that.
We stand by the work and we want you to feel good about your investment.
