Combining the artistry of dance with the drama of aerial acrobatics, Arachne Aerial Arts specializes in high impact performance for theaters, museums, galleries and events.
Andrea and Sharon began flying together in 2000 and continue their training at New England Center for Circus Arts with Elsie Smith and Serenity Smith Forchion, former aerialists with Cirque du Soleil. The DC-based duo has received praise from critics, clients and audiences and has been presented at artistic venues and corporate events throughout the region.
The company offers introductory workshops and private lessons to students of all abilities.
