Dance has been instrumental in shaping Zyra’s life. From a young age, she has been fascinated by bodies in motion. Witnessing the strength, control, and graceful technique of dancers, acrobats, and yogis sparked her interest in the study of movement. After completing her B.S. in ecology, she longed to move her body. Lucky for her, she discovered aerial acrobatics and her love for it blossomed. She began her training at Xelias Aerial Arts Studio and started performing for audiences, developing choreography, and teaching the art to others. Zyra's desire to share this expressive form compelled her to start an aerial studio of her own - Stomping Ground Studio is located in downtown Minneapolis and offers a full class schedule training in aerial tissu, lyra, pole, and partner acrobatics.
Zyra actively seeks out and trains with aerialists from all over the world to continue to refine and polish her aerial artistry. If you're an aerialist visiting the Minneapolis area and want skill share, feel free to message her.
