My name is Anastasia and I am an aerialist and coach based in Denver, CO.

Anastasia has been a professional aerialist since 2013.  Her movement style is dark and dramatic, a mixture of slow hypnotic movement and fast dynamic sequences. Her emphasis is on fascinating shapes and clean lines all while upholding the illusion of defying gravity.

She loves storytelling-through elaborate costuming, body language, and music selection. Just like her oil paintings, she likes her aerial acts to visually make a statement.

In her free time, Anastasia can be found drawing, making costumes, and cuddling with her cats.

Anastasia first discovered aerial in college. At first aerial was great fitness but quickly become an outlet for creativity and a passion. Anastasia's movement style comes from a background in martial arts. It is dark and dramatic, a mixture of slow hypnotic movement and fast dynamic sequences. Her emphasis is on fascinating shapes and clean lines all while upholding the illusion of defying gravity. She approaches teaching skills through the incremental progressions of a martial artist, informed by kinesthetics and anatomy. Her coaching has been described as approachable, encouraging, and quirky with emphasis on proper technique and anatomical safety. Anastasia has been training since 2011 and has been performing since 2013. Anastasia enjoys all forms of aerial including rope, silks, sling, trapeze, invented apparatus, and sometimes lyra. She completed the Aerial Teacher Training Program in January of 2016 and since has been working as a coach to help others discover the joy of aerial and their potential to fly. She hopes that she can help achieve each students individual goals, help them find their own artistic voice and influences, and hone their abilities.

Anastasia loves vertical apparatus, and is currently specializing in rope. Anastasia’s most recent act can be watched here (Krampus) and here (Life Is).

As an instructor, Anastasia teaches Silks, Sling, Rope, Trapeze, Lyra, Choreography and Characterization, Inversions Conditioning, and Teens (ages 11+).  Contact Anastasia to schedule private lessons!
