Grand Rapids Aerial Lounge

Aerial Performance by Eleanor Drews wsg Max Aulbach

Eleanor is back again this year along with her special guest, Max Aulbach. You can see their performances on Saturday at 12:00 PM and then again at 5:20 PM.

This will be Eleanor's fourth year performing at Smiling Acres Music Festival. Eleanor began training on aerial silks in 2019. Over the years, through her hard work and dedication, a truly gifted and unique aerial artist has emerged.

Max has been doing Aerial Silks for almost 10 years, starting with a college circus arts club at Kalamazoo College and taking classes in Grand Rapids after graduation. After training at studios in GR for a couple years, he began teaching aerial classes 4 years ago, with the last two spent at Grand Rapids Aerial Lounge where he currently teaches. Max focuses on teaching both beginner & higher level silks, with a focus on building strength and technique, while making sure everyone has fun while they do it. While not a frequent performer, he loves to coach students into doing their own routines first and foremost, but will perform on occasion when the inspiration strikes!
