Sasha Galitzki

Founder and Director of Cirque Aurora, Sasha is a multi-disciplinary acrobat and the behind-the-scenes business lead keeping this show on the road!

Sasha discovered acrobatic arts in 2008 and after years of training, performing, and coaching across North America, is delighted to take the reigns of her own company and share the wonder and spectacle of circus arts with the communities of the Canadian Rockies.

Sasha loves nothing more than pulling together wild & improbable productions - she's rigged & performed aerial over lakes, in blizzards, and even inside of a glacial ice cave!

Laura-Ann Chong

Co-Founder of Cirque Aurora, Laura-Ann brings creative and professional skill from her experience performing worldwide with Cirque du Soleil’s touring show, Amaluna, from 2013-2020.

Originally hailing from Vancouver, BC, Laura-Ann spent most of her time growing up as a gymnast and was eventually named as an alternate for the 2004 Canadian Olympic Team.

The COVID-19 pandemic abruptly ended Laura-Ann’s journey with Cirque du Soleil, but encouraged her to move to the Rocky Mountains to pursue her Public Relations career. She is eager to have the opportunity to feed her artistic side through Cirque Aurora and is excited to elevate mountain life to new heights!
