Madeline Hoak: Acrobatic/Aerial dancer

Madeline Hoak
@ The Galapagos art space.

Imagine: grace, strength, balance, beauty and agility suspended from a length of fine cloth,  on a stage awash...
in glorious light. This is Madeline Hoak,
her aerial acrobatic performance 
is a thing of maddening delights.
Bending, twisting, turning, all while
holding her self up with arms, legs,
either or, creating a seemingly effortless
display of acrobatic movement. 
Her act is an intense, splendid thing to behold, it takes you away and brings you back safe and happy.
 

A former native of Worcester Massachusetts, she studied dance and Theater at Muhlenberg Collage. A New Yorker for some years now (thank god, we need all the talent we can get) miss Hoak is currently dancing with the Daniel Gwirtzman dance company (they performed Encore at the the Joyce, SoHo). She has also performed at the JCC theater N.Y.C in the "Aerial Dance festival" 2010. A stunning performer, she has worked and danced with Chriselle Tidrick and Dilshod Djalilou to name a few. Aside from all this Miss Hoak also teaches her Acrobatic forte to those willing to learn (http://madelinehoak.com). 

Improved Health, strength, flexibility, and grace might all be yours dear reader (for a small fee of course) if you have the stuff  to learn her skill.

Art is the reason, Art is the way
