Caitlyn

Caitlyn is our air-loving, water-loving, aerial mermaid.  In her youth she was active in gymnastics and competitive cheerleading, as an adult she fell in love with circus as a way to keep herself in the air.  She has been training in aerial silks, and lyra since 2019 and has been performing with B.A.D. since 2020. She has trained with Joanne Galligan, Tyler Jacobson, Brande Lee, and Mara Niemanis.  She also completed a rigging workshop with Craig Lewis.  She has performed on both silks and lyra at events all over WNY.  Caitlyn teaches many of our youth classes, as well as Beginner Silks and Beginner and Intermediate Lyra.

Outside of aerial she is also a professional mermaid and a mental health counselor for children, teens, and young adults. This helps make her perfect for teaching the kids as well as building the confidence, motivation, and skills most beginners are looking for.
