Hello! I’m Allie!
Before circus, I was simply a noodle who hadn’t found her “thing.” Since I basically grew up through my teenage years with circus and Sky High Studios in my life, I got to be surrounded by the greatest group of role models I could’ve asked for. Aerial silks introduced me to circus, which brought me to discover my purpose, and what I wanted to be as an adult. Getting to spend every day doing what I love, whether it’s through teaching, training, or performing, is everything to me. Not only does circus keep me strong and active, it also boosted my confidence, taught me about the rewards of hard work, and gave me multiple homes away from home.
How She Got Started:
I first came across aerial silks when I stumbled upon a show in 2013. After seeing the silks performers, I became obsessed with the idea of trying it out for myself. A few months later and just after my 14th birthday, I found a studio that offered aerial silks classes; I was (and am) absolutely in love with my sport. Since then, I’ve trained in dance, acrobatics, hand balancing, lyra, pole, juggling, and any other circus apparatus I can get my hands on. Circus has been my whole life and world since 2013; I can’t wait to share circus with you!
Instructor Philosophy:
My mission to make sure that you leave every class with the feeling of accomplishment and excitement for your journey. Each class is your time to escape the world to focus on yourself, and I’m here to make that happen.
IRL (In Real Life):
When I’m not teaching, I’m an aerialist, hand balancer, juggler, tumbler, dancer, rock climber, hiker, guitar player, to name a few things. My passion is testing the capabilities of the human mind and body, so that’s usually what I’m up to. Collectively, I’m squishing my cluster of passions together as a student working towards a full time career in circus arts! In my down time, I like to take care of my large collection of plants, read books, and adventure with my friends and family.
Random fact:
I graduated from a vocational high school with a certification in Masonry and Tile Setting. Funny how life changes!
