Melanie Robinson
Assistant Instructor
Melanie is a bar girl! She spent several years as an amateur powerlifter and pole sport enthusiast and instructor before being introduced to aerial bar apparatuses in 2019. She quickly fell in love with static trapeze at Esh before adding dance trapeze and aerial hoop to her portfolio.
A 2024 graduate of the Professional Preparatory Program at Esh and continuing her education with Nimble Arts, Melanie returns to the teaching space with an excitement to bring the foundations of strength, conditioning, technique, and confidence to students! She enjoys exploring and defying the (perceived) limits of one’s own strength, and incorporating movement disciplines such as Pilates into aerial arts to deepen body awareness and efficiency.
Melanie is establishing her reputation in the Boston circus performance community as a narrative-based artist who infuses creative writing with aerial arts to create deeply meaningful performances grounded in sociocultural and Womanist themes.
