Hayley Larson

By Circus Smirkus | Published February 25, 2020

Hayley Larson is a multidisciplinary circus performer with training in many duo and solo aerial apparatuses, Cyr wheel, and hand balancing. With a degree in Dance from Oberlin College, Hayley uses her background as a dancer to bring a crisp, complex style to her choreography that underscores the commanding stage presence so often found in her performances.

Currently, Hayley is based in Chicago where she performs with Aloft Circus Arts’ touring ensemble show Brave Space and coaches circus throughout the city. She is very excited to return to Smirkus Camp for her second summer of being inspired by the many talented up-and-coming circus minds. When not flying through the air herself, she can be found playing collaborative board games with friends or snuggling a cat on the couch.
