Flight Instructors
Each instructor at Flight Aerial & Pole has their own unique teaching approach, performance style and background. Meet our crew!
Max
Max came in to aerials around ten years ago, bringing with them a varied background in dance, yoga, fire performance, rock climbing and the firm belief that any challenge can be surmounted with determination and a good sense of humor. Because of their mixed bag of a background, they like to remind their students that you can come from any walk of life, at any age, and still succeed in aerials with flying colors, so long as you’ve got the passion and drive to do so!
Max likes to focus on building strength and confidence while working within your means as an individual performer so that you can safely and accurately achieve more and more advanced skills. They encourage everyone to work with their strengths and to remember that every body works differently, but everyone can reach their goals, so long as you believe in yourself!
