im a cheerleader and a dancer and to do a very good ariel it depends on how long it can take you to learn something. i learn things like this pretty quick and ive been working on this for months. it basically just depends on how long and how many times you practice. you need to make sure to give it your all and not slack on it though. its way easier to do it right cus it will take less of your energy then if you were to half-way do it. i know this for a fact. but i hope i helped!

is that dancing or gymnastics?
well anyway i think you should try doing it on the tramp first

Aerial cartwheels are not hard to learn as soon as your regular cratwheels are nice and solid. Once your coach sees that you are ready he/she will suggest you to do a one-handed cartwheel. If that goes well, he/she might suggest an aeriel, and it might work, all on the same day. But now the question is how long does it take you to learn to do a good technically sound fast cartwheel. That might take about half a year to a year.

like 1 year or so depending on skill

it just depends on how flexible and experienced you are. i have been in dance and gymnastics but if u havent had much experience i would just practice but i dont know how long it would take you. its different for everyone. i would just take gymnastics or have someone help you. if u really set your mind to it you might be able to do it in a couple of weeks. i would say practice cartwheels and then gradually try doing it without hands hope that helps :)

Listen to Brunette, she knows whats up! Its the complete opposite of a dive cartwheel, you need to adjust to getting the momentum going the opposite way. Once you get use to that change and you build up the leg strength, it isn't too hard.

Well I really depends. For some people it takes quite a long time but for others it doesn't take that long.But if you really want to know who to take a gymnastics class and ask them to teach you and with concentration and hard work you'll get it.
