Instructor Profile

Ellen Dapper is a circus coach and performer based in Lexington, Kentucky. They teach youth and adult classes in aerial silks, sling, and flexibility at Sora Aerial Arts, and they perform on many different apparatuses (including a tiny aerial hoop!) for Sora Contemporary Circus. As a hypermobile human, Ellen is passionate about sharing their knowledge to help others connect to their bodies and reduce pain.
Ellen is excited to partner with Coryn Autore (@physio.flows) to educate and advocate for the hypermobile in circus and flow arts to be able to train and perform confidently and safely. Ellen is also thrilled to offer workshops with their partner Lydia Fletcher (@lydfletch) and share the queer joy that comes from dancing and playing with the people you love.
