Instructor
Tina Ilea
Is an aerial performer, costume designer and dancer who accredits her affinity of performing arts to her hometown, Las Vegas, NV. When her parents realized that she would never stop climbing on the furniture, she was enrolled in everything from fencing to aikido in order to keep her occupied. Her mother took her to her very first Cirque du Soleil show when it debuted at the Mirage in Las Vegas and remembers very fondly that as an aerialist climbed to the ceiling and performed her breathtaking moves, Tina turned to her and said, “I can do that.” She has been in love with the show ever since and had the honor of working backstage for the show, Zumanity. As a well – versed creative, she takes all that she has learned from each craft and applies it to h er unique aerial style. Tina enjoys watching her students grow and the wonderful “Aha” moment when something clicks. You will find her performing all over California and Nevada and taking classes in order to continuously develop her skills. She believes th at even as an instructor, “you are always a student” and is ready to assist her peers with any skills she can.
