Ellie Naftaly

Ellie Naftaly discovered her love of movement early and found her calling in the air. She began training in aerial and dance at age five and naturally progressed into performance, developing a deep connection to both the artistry and athleticism of aerial work.

Ellie has performed professionally for private and corporate events, as well as venues and festivals across the West Coast, and has participated in benefit performances for organizations such as Kids Helping Kids, Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation, and the Dream Foundation.

As a coach, Ellie teaches students from age three through adults, approaching instruction like a puzzle, fitting together each individual’s strengths, learning style, and goals. She emphasizes building confidence, solid technique, and empowerment in movement. Ellie is a Business Management student at Boston University, which informs her thoughtful, structured approach to teaching.

Above all, Ellie is passionate about creating a supportive, inspiring space where students feel confident, encouraged, and excited to grow both in the air and beyond!
