Anna Guastella

As an undergraduate student at Boston University, Anna began to perform and choreograph with BU’s Dance Theater Group. She first discovered her love of aerial dance by swinging from ropes with Lynda Rieman and taking BU’s aerial dance intensives. She has been training and performing with aerial silks since 2012, with some performance experience in aerial ropes, sling, lyra, static trapeze, and flying trapeze. In 2017, she completed the Introduction to Teaching Aerials course at the New England Center for Circus Arts and began teaching aerial silks classes at BU. In 2018 she performed with Marin Orlowsky in the first ever installation of aerial dance to premiere at the Dance Complex in Cambridge. She has trained in aerial silks with Jill Maio in Somerville, with Trevor Kafka in Waltham, and with Phil Servitas in Littleton, where she continues to practice duo silks work.
