arial ARTIST

Miah’s love for the aerial arts started as a fitness regimen to enhance her performance as a competitive all-star cheerleader. She was introduced to silks as a way of strengthening her core and upper body to improve her skills and balance as a flyer. What started out as a workout quickly became a passion and there was no turning back. She discovered that aerials consisted of many different apparatuses, skill sets, and an amazing community of artists. Miah started wth silks three years ago and has cross trained on the Lyra for the last year. Miah’s goal is to be pro in several apparatuses and would love to be a part of a Cirque Du Soleil show. She will continue to express herself as she dances in the air and surprising audiences along the way.

Youngest competitor ever

Youngest competitor EVER Aerialympics 2016 Lyra Hoop performance.

"I was the youngest competitor ever to compete at the Aerialympics, I am 10 years old. Last year I was allowed to do an exhibition, but they would not let me compete due to my age. That all changed this year! YEAH!!!"
