Meet your teacher

Hi! My name is Alessandra Gonzalez and I’ve toured all over the world as a performer, vocalist and character actor with Cirque du Soleil. In addition to teaching aerial acrobatics, I’m also a dance instructor and qualified personal trainer.

I began my artistic career as a dancer at the age of 6, studying classical ballet in Rome, Italy. From 2010 until 2017 I toured throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Australia with Cirque du Soleil’s shows ‘Quidam’ and ‘KOOZA’ and have had the privilege to train and learn from some of the best practitioners in the world on Aerial Hoop and Silks, Spanish Web and Hand balancing.
