Juice
Jerusha Victoria (Juice) has trained in several dance forms for over 30 years, and added aerial to her studies 15 years ago. She performed with AirAligned Aerial Dance group in all of their full-length performances, choreographed fire shows with Beyond Fire Tribe (including a fire lyra act), and has done countless solo aerial performances. She also produces and directs The Aerial Lab professional performance group in all their black box shows, and large productions.
In 2009 Jerusha completed a year long self-directed Aerial Intensive in Colorado with many great teachers, including Cathy Gauch of Aircat Aerial Arts, teachers from Frequent Flyers Productions, the former Denver Aerial Arts, Aerial Fabric Acrobatics, and many more. She has had the opportunity to both take and teach workshops alongside some of the most inventive aerialists in the industry. In recent years, Jerusha has been focusing on refining her dance training in ballet, jazz, hip hop and tap, and on bringing techniques from those forms into her aerial performances and instruction.
Jerusha's teaching philosophy embodies helping students to truly understand what is happening in the air with their equipment and bodies, and she believes in giving students the tools to go forward and create innovations in their own aerial practice so they may further develop the art of aerial dance. As an RN, she is fascinated with the body, and as a quantifiable science geek, she is excited to bring together an understanding of the mechanics of the body, and the beauty of physics.
