Arwen
Founder & Instructor
Arwen Ungar has been practicing Aerial Arts since 2011 when she was exposed to the magical powers of hanging upside down. She enjoys all the aerial apparatuses but static trapeze is her first love. Ungar has taken classes from a variety of circus schools including Night Flight Aerial and AWOL both in Portland, Oregon. She has also attended a teacher training using the Born to Fly Curriculum in Colorado.
Aerial arts transformed her life by helping her become an empowered woman who believed in herself and her abilities, something she had lacked in her former life. The skills and self esteem she learned in studios have changed her life forever. She hopes to empower young people to believe in themselves and the undeniable fact that they matter in the universe.
