    About Stephany J.

    I have been doing Aerial Acrobatics since 2007. I started on aerial hoop (lyra) and quickly fell in love with silks and sling. It is a passion I enjoy sharing with others. Many of the students I have coached have gone on to start their own aerial acrobatics businesses. Whether your dream is to run off and join the circus or you are just looking for a fun new activity to try, Cirque Boreal can provide lessons to fit your needs.

    Experience

    Owner/Instructor/Aerialist

    Aug, 2016 - Present

    Private company

    I spent so many years hoping for someone to open an aerial studio in Anchorage I finally decided it was time to do it myself.

    Instructor

    Jan, 2011 - Jul, 2015

    UAF

    While pursuing a graduate degree at the University of Alaska Fairbanks I taught private and small group classes for aerial. My students learned aerial silk, sling, and hoop. Now many of my students have gone on to teach and open their own aerial studios in Fairbanks.

    Director

    Jul, 2007 - Sep, 2009

    Improvically Speaking

    I started, performed with, and directed the UAA improv troupe "Improvically Speaking." We did regular shows at UAA as well as private events for local Alaskan groups.

    Improviser

    May, 2007 - May, 2009

    Scared Scriptless

    That's right, I have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the longest running improv troupe in the state of Alaska! A part of their main performing group, I did regular shows, corporate gigs, and private events with Scared Scriptless. I also was responsible for co-teaching their weekly improv classes.

    CoolWhip (a refreshing wit topping)

    CoolWhip is Whitworth University's improv troupe and has been bringing the funny to Spokane, WA for decades. A performance troupe that focuses on short form improv, CoolWhip is an elite group plucked from Whitworth's theater talent. I played as an improviser my junior year, and I directed the troupe my senior year of college.
