Rebekah Burke has a powerful message— and she delivers it through her strong, graceful & raw aerial hoop performances. It's not just a circus act; it's not just a dance routine. She combines both a strength of body and a strength of heart to reach into her audience and wring out an emotional & meaningful response.

Rebekah is featured in Palazzo Berlin for its 2024-2025 season. She most recently performed in The Party with Strut & Fret at the Darwin Arts Festival and was a featured act at Palazzo Vienna, Austria, during its 2023-2024 season. She was a featured artist in Cirque du Soleil’s Joya in Riviera Maya, Mexico and in Absinthe, Las Vegas. And she also previously appeared in Filament at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and in Palazzo Hamburg, Germany.

You can see her in the feature film The Greatest Showman.

She was a featured act in Cirque du Soleil's Zumanity in Las Vegas and in NYC's Queen of the Night. She performed at Celebrity Cruise Lines; at The Act in Dubai, UAE; at Illusion in Doha, Qatar; at The Box in NYC and London; at SAX in Washington, DC, in Webster Hall in New York City; in ArtScape in Baltimore, MD, and at many other venues internationally. 

Rebekah won second place in the professional division at the 2017 Vegas International Variety Act Festival (VIVAFest). She was the named U.S. Aerial Champion at the U.S. Aerial Championships in 2015. 

Rebekah studied ballet and contemporary dance at the North Carolina School of the Arts under the direction of Ethan Stiefel. She then attended Ellison Ballet in New York City and the Gelsey Kirkland Academy of Classical Ballet, as well as spending three summers at the American Ballet Theatre summer intensive in New York City.

But she soon found that her heart and strength were above the stage, rather than on it. After ballet school Rebekah found aerial arts through Seanna Sharpe at Mad Sharpe Productions. A few months later she started training cerceau in NYC with Jan Manke and also began freelance aerial performing. She then continued her studies in aerial and performance in Los Angeles at Nathalie Gaulthier's Le Studio under many notable coaches including Joshua Zehner, Jason Berrent, Alan Ascencio, Petra Sprecher and Michelle Sargent. When she is home in Virginia she teaches and trains at Two Sparrows Aerial.

Rebekah  merges intensive strength training with continuous artistic &  technical work to create her unique and powerful style of aerial hoop.

She also has skill and experience in:

Contemporary & Classical Ballet
