Kelsey Keller, local professional aerialist and co-owner of Fullbody Fitness Club in Brentwood, will be competing in the aerial silks category at the U.S. Aerial Championships in New York City on February 8.
The competition drew applications from around the world, but only 12 aerialists were chosen to compete in each of three categories at the off-Broadway Rose Nagelberg Theater.
Kelsey earned a Ph.D. in biophysics at Ohio State University before she set the lab equipment aside and pursued her dream of becoming a professional aerial acrobat. She now lives that dream here in Pittsburgh by directing an aerial performance company called Iron City Aerial.
Alongside her circus partner Jenly Deiter, Kelsey also owns Fullbody Fitness Club, a class-based studio with a focus on cutting edge circus-inspired workouts.
