Juice
Jerusha (Juice) has trained in several dance forms for over 30 years, and added aerial to her studies over a decade ago. She has performed with AirAligned Aerial Dance group in all of their full-length performances, performed fire with Beyond Fire Tribe for the last 5 years, (including a fire lyra act), and has done countless solo aerial performances.
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 others. She also has had the opportunity to take workshops with 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.
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 that 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.
