SANCA’s hand balancing and acrobatics coach, Sam Lewis, recently got a part with Le Rêve – “The Dream” at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas! Set on an aquatic stage, Le Rêve is a show about uncovering the subconscious, featuring aerial-acrobatics, water ballet, synchronized swimming, and comedy. Founded by the co-founder of Cirque du Soleil, Le Rêve has won “Best Show in Vegas” several years in a row. You may have seen Sam training in the South Annex working on his hand-balancing and chair-balancing routine, or even taken a class with him!

Originally from Spokane, Washington, Sam is a professional acrobat with more than five years of professional performance experience in both hand balancing and hand-to-hand acrobatics. He has trained under artists in Cirque du Soleil and world champion sports acrobats. He also has experience coaching hand balancing classes and teaching private lessons and workshops all around America. Sam has been coaching at SANCA for about a year.

In 2014, when a hand-to hand move went wrong, Sam snapped his bicep and required surgery. As fate would have it; his first day with Le Rêve will be the fourth anniversary of his surgery. As he prepares to pack up and head on to the next adventure, say hi if you see him training!

We know we’ll see him down the road.

Congrats Sam!
