Instructor Course

The Pole & Aerial Instructor Course at Pole Republic is a course that focuses on more than just teaching Pole or Aerial. 

We emphasize your personal journey as an instructor and aerialist/poler, helping you develop your unique style. The training includes instruction on Pole and Aerial-specific anatomy, structuring lessons, adapting to individual participants, and handling both physical and mental barriers. 

Additionally, you will learn about floor-based strength training and flexibility training in relation to your chosen apparatus. We also cover topics such as nutrition, recovery, and mental health in connection with training. To promote personal development, we offer four hours of individual coaching with either Maibrit or Saskia, focusing on your specific areas of development. Throughout the course, there will also be a few masterclasses, with a focus on flow, movement and trick understanding. 

We look forward to welcoming you and supporting your development!

Our next course starts September 2026

What previous participants said about the course

“The course is great not only if you want to become an instructor, but also if you are simply interested in your own development as an aerialist. I feel like I have learned so much the past 6 months and that I have developed a lot as an aerialist. Finishing the course is bittersweet as I will definitely miss those Saturdays where we were taught the different modules.”
“I signed up for this course faster than a heart beat and I have no regrets! All through the course I’ve developed myself beyond what I could’ve imagined. It has been life changing for me. From the first day I just felt safe. They managed to create a space where you could truly be yourself. No right or wrong and there was no pressure what so ever. Positive energy all through the course and with super talented and amazing people. I honestly don’t remember if my intention from the beginning was that I wanted to teach? But I definitely want that now! I’ve been challenged, pushed but mostly inspired through this, and I can’t recommend this course enough!“
“You created a really good package with a lot of good and helpful stuff. And you come around some very important topics, which you definitely should keep. I feel I got a lot of great knowledge throughout the course, which I can use in practice right away. Thank you for your hard work”
“I’m not sure where to start. This course hasn’t just prepared me to become a good instructor – it has truly been a personal journey. Without a doubt, I’ve gained much more confidence in myself, both as a dancer, a poler, and as an instructor. I dare to do much more than I ever dreamed I would. I’m convinced that your approach to the course – that there were no expectations that we had to teach and that there was no exam – actually made me feel safe enough to want to teach, something I had previously been unsure about. Your focus on the mental aspects of training has been incredibly valuable. It’s such a vulnerable sport for many of us, so I’ve really appreciated that focus. You managed to create a truly safe space where everyone could be vulnerable and grow tremendously.“
