Spokane Aerial + AirAligned

The laws of gravity exist only to be defied by the aerial dancers of California’s AirAligned Academy, who perform remarkable feats of flexibility and agility while dangling off fabric hanging from the ceiling — it’s not unlike Cirque du Soleil. The academy’s artistic director, Tresa Honaker, is a former aerial dancer herself, and though she was in an aerial accident that left her paralyzed, she’s still choreographing routines and spreading the beauty of the artform around the country. During this weekend’s performance, the AirAligned dancers will appear with members of the Spokane Aerial Performance Arts troupe, as well as dancer Sherrie Martin, who’s still flying through the air at 60 years old.
