Hi, I’m Circus Cora.
Cora has been training and performing a variety of aerial arts since 2015 with a primary focus on aerial silks. She has translated the skills gained on silks to a variety of apparatuses including sling and lyra. As a young aerialist, unsure what to do with her hands, Cora started testing the waters to see what could be achieved upside down. Will she tie balloon animals despite a latex allergy? play guitar? juggle? Pour you a drink? You'll have to watch to find out.
In addition to performance, Cora is a skilled coach. Cora is a coach who believes circus arts are truly for everybody. She specializes in meeting where you’re at and working toward your goals together. Cora started aerial arts with aerial silks in the Northern Virginia area. An avid traveler, Cora seeks studios wherever she goes and has trained in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, California, Scotland, Greece, Mexico, and Russia. Cora received her Level One Silks Teacher Training Certification from Paper Doll Militia in 2022 and is currently coaching Aerial Silks and Flexibility at several studios in the greater DC/MD/VA area. Cora’s specialty is aerial silks, but she also dabbles in sling and lyra and is available for group classes and private lessons in silks, sling, lyra and flexibility at Acro Physical Therapy and Fitness in Columbia, MD, and Monarca in Flight in Falls Church, VA.
Cora continues to expand her fitness knowledge every chance she gets and earned her Assisted Stretching and Flexibility Certification from National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) in February 2024 and her Corrective Exercise Specialist Certification from NASM in July 2024. She also holds the Paper Doll Militia Aerial Silks Certification since January 2023.
