Carina Gillet has been an artist all her life. She has always looked to express beauty around her and was ecstatic when she found aerial dance, because she found it to be such a unique blend of elegance, strength, and movement.
Apart from aerial dancing Carina is a violinist and cellist, which has given her a different perspective on the relation between music and movement. Carina has been diligently training on multiple aerial apparatus since 2015 and is excited to begin her teaching career with Mountain Air Dance!
