Catherine Jett // trapeze, straps, duo trapeze, partner acrobatics

Catherine Jett found circus as a bored 20-something and has never looked back. She delights in how circus combines athleticism, creativity, and collaboration in one single pursuit. Catherine’s first circus love was the static trapeze, but she has since dedicated herself to duo and ensemble work. Catherine trained at Frequent Flyers Aerial Dance in Boulder, Colorado, then joined the staff at Aloft in Chicago, where she taught for over three years before moving to MA. She currently coaches and trains at NECCA and SHOW Circus Studio.
