Our Mission
At Aerial Dance and Performance Aruba, we believe in more than just aerial arts — we believe in the transformative power of expression. Founded by Maria and Kelly, both seasoned performers with decades of experience, our studio is built on a foundation of artistry, technique, and connection.
Guided by their training from Cuban and Russian professionals, Maria and Kelly bring a unique teaching philosophy to our studio — one that blends precision, technique, and the power of self-expression. While strength and flexibility are important, we prioritize helping our students connect with their movements and evoke emotion in their performances, transforming aerial into a true art form.
We aim to provide a space where kids, teens, and adults alike can find joy in movement, discover their inner artist, and develop not only technical skills but also the ability to captivate and inspire through dance.
Emphasis on Expression
Inspiring performances by blending technical skill with emotional connection.
Accessiblility
Making aerial arts inclusive and available to everyone.
Foundation & Growth
Building strong fundamentals to support long-term development and advanced skills.
Community & Family
Fostering a welcoming and supportive environment for all.
