I am a pole and lyra (aerial hoop) performer based in Louisville, KY and am also an instructor at Suspend and Freestyle Fitness. I began my aerial journey over a decade ago and have dedicated my life to it since 2012.
What I do, whether on the pole or lyra, is a combination of circus, dance, and gymnastics. There is never any nudity! I can customize acts to your needs or you can choose to have me perform a previously choreographed piece.
Aerial arts are perfect entertainment for nearly any event! Hire me for a variety show, corporate gig, live music event, private party, etc.
Want multiple performers? Just ask! I may have a friend or two who'd like to join me!

Price Range: Contact for rates
Gig Length: 3 - 60 minutes
Languages: English
I will do one 3 - 7 minute set in a 45 minute period with a maximum time commitment of 6 hours, starting from the show's call time. Rates vary, depending on how many sets you want.
My performances combine dance, acrobatics, strength, and flexibility. Musicality and audience connection play important roles.
I am the owner of Defiance Studios in Lexington, KY where I teach pole fitness, aerial arts, and more. From a young age I was always climbing on and hanging from whatever I could, so pole and aerials were obvious choices! Once I started pole classes it became my obsession. Now I am happy to share my love of pole fitness with anyone who is interested! I have been on my own pole journey for more than a decade, have trained with many championship winning pole stars, and am a certified pole instructor through Discoveries Pole Dance. Lyra and other aerial arts were a natural progression. I have spent the last two years cross-training in aerials (especially lyra) with everyone I could. In addition to sharing my passion with others, I now work as a performing aerialist and pole artist.
