Owner & Aerial instructor
Tera has been teaching aerial arts since 2007. Her focus and philosophy is to encourage mastery of solid technical foundation to enable students’ successful advancement. She loves that aerial arts exist at the intersection of artistry and athleticism. She has founded Monkey Aerial Arts to both bring aerial arts to Lake County but also to be able to provide high quality beginner and intermediate technique based on the curriculum and methods of her former teachers and coaches.
The Studio
Studio B
A 2,700 sf circus space with 19ft ceilings developed to be the home of Monkey Aerial Arts. Aside from the capacity as a circus school, it hosts other types of fun, adventurous fitness and learning.
​
There are three studio areas (aerial, dance and upstairs stretching/ yoga), and a comfortable waiting area/ viewing room to the main aerial studio. In addition, there is a party room also with a view of the main aerial studio.
