Today we announce that Coach Julia has accepted the role of Outreach and Events Coordinator here at SANCA! Julia was born and raised in Seattle and has called this city home as long as she has known. Starting out in the theater as a kid, they stumbled upon circus arts when doing a one-act play that required “something circus-y.” She has since gone on to specialize in Aerial Fabric and Lyra (Aerial Hoop). Julia has been at SANCA for a year now and is excited to be stepping into this new position! They bring to this role experience working with both public and private schools in the Greater Seattle area, coordination, and production experience while working on volunteer film projects, and a background in theater and circus arts. When not at SANCA, they can most likely be found at home, hibernating with a cup of coffee and cuddling with their roommate’s dog.

Today we announce that our talented Coach Ivanna has accepted the role of Aerial Coordinator!

Ivanna started out in a career dancing with various companies in Chicago, New York City, and Los Angeles and was introduced to aerial arts along the way. She has always found a deep sense of freedom and connection within movement. The ability to simultaneously tune in and get lost inside the expressiveness of moving is glorious. She was delighted to find that same sense of expressiveness in aerial, just with a different set of boundaries. She currently performs on various apparatus and sees each as a different dance partner to get to know and discover how to create with. In addition to performing, Ivanna is also an instructor in multiple studios in Seattle. She started at SANCA in 2017 and is excited to now step into the Aerial Coordinator position. She previously held the Lead Instructor position at Art Flying Aerial in Los Angeles and Aerial Director at Emerald City Trapeze Arts here in Seattle. Her teaching style is heavily influenced by her work as a Pilates instructor and bodyworker and her fascination with anatomy and biomechanics. We are overjoyed that she accepted this new position, please join us in congratulating her!
