Valentina discovered circus in 2010 and hasn’t looked back. With a background in artistic swimming, she specializes in aerial silks, rope, and vertical dance. She co-founded the contemporary circus collective “Aria Alta Tessuti Aerei” in Venice and has trained with leading schools across Europe. Combining her Master’s in Social Work with her love of circus, Valentina has taught socially engaged projects worldwide. With over seven years of teaching across Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, she inspires creativity, confidence, and connection in every student. Valentina is also a proud mum of two energetic boys who keep her grounded and inspired.
Kate has trained in circus arts for over 15 years and is a multidisciplinary aerialist with deep experience in aerial silks, lyra, and trapeze, alongside exploring ground‑based movement. With a holistic, body‑centred approach, she is passionate about safe, sustainable training that builds lasting strength, mobility, and body awareness – helping students gain confidence and flexibility both in and out of the air. Drawing from a wide range of movement influences, Kate encourages curiosity, play, and personal expression in every class – believing that growth in aerial arts is about more than technique; it’s about connection, self‑discovery, and embodied confidence.
