Katherine Mechler
I began my aerial journey in 2022 as a student at Aerial Cirque Over Denver (ACOD) and quickly fell in love with the art form. By 2024, I became a certified Level 1/2 aerial instructor through ACOD’s ACE-accredited teacher training program.
I’ve always been drawn to creative expression. I grew up dancing, rock climbing, and participating in drama club. Discovering aerial dance felt like the missing piece falling into place in my creative journey. As an aerialist performer and instructor based in Denver, I specialize in dance trapeze—blending technical skill with musicality and storytelling. My diverse background shapes how I approach aerial as both a physical discipline and a powerful way to communicate through movement.
While I specialize in dance trapeze, I also train on aerial silks, lyra (single and double point), and sling/hammock.
Whether you're brand new or an existing student looking for additional guidance, I’m here to help you build strength, confidence, and artistry through aerial dance. Come fly with me—let’s move, explore, and express ourselves together.
