CANDICE STORLEY
Aerialist | Performer | Artist
Aspiring to inspire. Aiming to, not only chase my dreams, but live them as well. I have had the privilege of performing on a stage in front of crowds since I was eleven years old. I have happily continued on to pursue my passions professionally. Which first led me to a professional water ski show in Wisconsin, and then onto various opportunities of training and performing around the globe.
I have acquired a very diverse set of skills from numerous internationally renowned performers, trainers, and mentors. I have humbly reached my level of professionalism not only from hard work and dedication, but also from the advantage of performing in very contrasting environments and venues.
Vincent Van Gogh once said, “…whoever loves much, performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done!” I couldn’t agree more. I truly love what I do and it is my hope that, if anything, that shines through. It is my belief that, to the most knowledgeable eye, it’s not what you do; it’s how you do it.
