Erika Lemay - beautiful Canadian Aerial Hoop
I was first introduced to Erika Lemay as part of the Azale Duo, with another crazily-talented acrobat, Julie Lavergne, and we have kept steady contact over the years.Both artists continue to develop new shows and new collaborations , and so Peak's database expands internationally, and we get all these cool videos with which to promote them - and now I can share!
These French speaking Canadian ladies are truly something special.
Erika is a multi-disciplined artist, having started with Circus training, she eventually focused her performing on styles such as the intense hand-balancing act of Azale Duo, where such power and graceful control are needed.She has a solo Aerial Scarf act where not only power, but the ability to dance in the air captures the audiences breath. The act I am featuring now, the Aerial Hoop, is dramatic, and intense, and breathtaking.
A choreographed show-piece of 5-minutes with Erika taking her audience on an emotional roller-coaster. Enjoy these snippets.
