Youth Director
Kaylin Cervini - Youth Director Kaylin began her performance career at 5 when she was recruited to model for a Kodak Magazine. Growing up, she was involved in many theater programs, but also had a love for acrobatics as an All-Star Competing cheerleader. Kaylin studied Theater and Music at MCC, but it was her artistic skills that led her to be involved with decor & prop design for a local Entertainment company. Working backstage shows that featured traveling aerialists Kaylin decided she wanted to learn. In 2016, Kaylin was able to perform her first aerial performance on stage at Cirque Du Bass. She performed in New Orleans as a singing acrobatic duo with Alexa Wallace in 2020. Kaylin and Alexa were recruited by a producer of America's Got Talent as a duo in 2023. Unfortunately, they never quite made the show, but it was notable moment. Kaylin's dream has always been to sing, and mixing that passion with aerial arts allowed her to create a unique act. Kaylin is a known local musician and recording artist. She has creatively directed many music videos, as well has been hired to work arts department on music videos for several well-known bands. Kaylin won Best Production Design at Horror Hound Film Fest for her art & set design in "The Burned Over District."
