OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The students of KaliAndrews Dance Company, Ottawa’s own 1st Place National Champions, are still flying high after their big win – literally! The one-of-a-kind dance school has recently expanded its Acrobatics program to include Aerial Arts.
Aerial Silks (also known as aerial ribbons or tissues) and Aerial Hoop are styles of dance where an artist performs acrobatic tricks while hanging in the air. With the continued success of Cirque du Soleil, Aerial Arts are becoming more popular than ever! Raw strength, flexibility and grace combined with jaw-dropping stunts (such as free-falls) are enough to keep an audience on the edge of their seats.
Now, KaliAndrews Dance Company is offering students of all ages and skill levels the opportunity to explore their artistic sides in the air. Their modern facility and professional rigging 20-feet off the ground provide students with a genuine circus environment. Just this fall, the studio proudly hosted Montreal’s National Circus School during its Canadian Pre-Selection Tour. Watch the students in action!
“Next to the National Circus School and the Cirque du Soleil facilities in Montreal, KaliAndrews Dance Company is Ottawa’s best facility for learning Aerial Arts,” says Meaghan Wegg, a professional aerial performer who just completed a four-year tour with Cirque du Soleil’s Quidam. “Not only does KADC have the space, it also has the height necessary for students to follow their dreams and dance in the air!”
About KaliAndrews Dance Company
Just three years ago, a young husband and wife team followed their dreams to bring KaliAndrews Dance Company to life. Their doors opened for the first time in September 2009, introducing a unique twist from the usual styles of dance in the form of Acrobatics and Circus Arts. The most visible display of Acro can currently be seen in the world famous Cirque du Soleil. KADC is the first in Ottawa to specialize in this mind-blowing circus-style dance.
KaliAndrews Dance Company also offers dance classes in Tap, Ballet, Hip-Hop, Jazz, and Lyrical for ages six to adult. Children aged five and under can be introduced to dance through the Little Steps program.
