Meet the latest in our growing team of aerial instructors, demonstrating remarkable dedication to ongoing training and artistic development as a circus professional—Lacey Costanza!

After happening upon a video of a women defying gravity on long pieces of fabric and a fair few google searches later, Lacey began taking aerial silks classes as a high school freshman in 2013. She has since then performed for various community events and shows, and her current goals are to become a part of larger theater productions both as a performer and creative director. Throughout the years silks has remained her one true love, but she enjoys playing on all apparatuses and being in the air in general.

In the summer of 2022, Lacey completed the Aerial Silks teacher training with Paperdoll Militia to expand her tool belt as an instructor. While she is now a certified coach, she is also forever a student, in constant pursuit of growth. Her favorite part about coaching is watching her students get that “ah-ha” moment when things start to click and the magic begins.

Lacey is our favorite type of instructor—a student first, who has the personal impetus to become a better aerialist for herself and for her students. She is dedicated not only to the art, but also to hard and often thankless work that it takes to make an artistic vision a reality. We cannot wait to see what Lacey creates next!
