Elise Sipos - Aerialist / Acrobat | San Antonio, Texas

Biography

Elise Thea Sipos grew up in the southern bayous of Louisiana. Her parents put this whirling dervish into dance class at the young age of five. Over the years she has studied; modern dance, creative expression through improvised movement, the ancient art of Bharata Natyam, ballet, jazz, flamenco, and various styles of African dance.
In 2007, Elise graduated from Oberlin College with a Bachelor of Arts and Science in Biology. After college, Elise moved to Chicago and was fortunate to work with Aerial Dance Chicago for three seasons; a company which infuses the aerial acrobatic arts with g ... round dance choreography. Elise primarily studied aerial fabric and trapeze, although she learned choreography in bungee and rope and harness.
In 2011, Elise moved to Vermont to participate in the Professional Track Training Program at the New England Center for Circus Arts (NECCA). There she learned more about the technical aspect to her aerial movement and found a new thirst for expanding her circus vocabulary. Her focus for the program was in an invented apparatus, which she calls a Halo, and in acrobatic dance, while strengthening her knowledge in fabric, lyra, and contortion. Elise completed a residency at NECCA, which produced a duo trapeze act with her trapeze partner, Gwynne Flanagan, and the formation of their group, Forever Marzipan. Presently, Elise is following her passion and enjoying success as a professional aerialist with Girls on Trapeze, Nimble Arts, Cirque Imagination, and full time work as the Assistant Director of Aerial Horizon.
