Specialiazation:
REBECCA OSTROFF [CIRCUS] has studied at the Martha Graham Center in NYC. As a young modern dancer in NYC she apprenticed with Arnie Zane/Bill T Jones, she danced with David Parsons and was in the original cast of " The Envelope", she danced with many small dance companies in the city and choreographed and performed her own work until one day doing a backhandspring she broke her foot,as a result all she could do was play on a trapeze, swim and do handstands. All that trapeze paid off, on a whim she went to New Hampshire to dance in a circus and discovered that you could do trapeze for a career ! the rest is history, she ran away and joined the circus. "The Enchanting Miss Rebecca" or Becky as she is known to her friends and family performed her single trapeze act for 31 years. Her signature finale stunt is iron jaw. The iron jaw got her the job as iron jaw/aerialist in the movie "Water for Elephants" and a chance to perform on Steve Harvey's Little Big Shots Forever Young ! Becky has performed in Circus all over the world, ice shows, festivals, night clubs anywhere the people need a trapeze act. Her other aerial skills are silks, Spanish web, Roman Rings and Lyra. She is excited to share her love of aerial to dancers and non dancers, hanging upside down and conquering anything!
