🤩We’re excited to welcome back Nicole Sirdoreus as a returning judge for the Florida Aerial Arts Championship

🏆A former FAAC champion herself, Nicole knows exactly what it takes to own the stage, connect with an audience, and leave a lasting impression. Now she returns to help crown the next generation of standout performers.

🩰Classically trained in ballet, pointe, tap, and jazz, Nicole began her performance career in Orlando’s theme parks and live events before fully immersing herself in aerial arts in 2012. While lyra is her first love, she is also highly skilled in silks, hammock, cube, and lollipop lyra.
