AeroTerra Arts is run by Kristen Mccoy and her husband Francesco Caban. They deliver elegant, strong and dedicated live acrobatic performance for luxury events, private parties, birthday’s, festivals, corporate events and much more.
Known for her grace and fluidity, Khrystia has performed on the floors of over fifty venues across Arizona. She started as a swing dancer performing for the local band The Swingtips. She later moved her focus to belly dancing, becoming a master of mixing fluidity with articulated hip motions. During this time she fine-tuned her style by studying Hula and Tahitian dance with Kaimikahu Hale O’ Hula of Tempe, Arizona, whom she performed and competed with for eight years. Over the course of her multi-cultural dances, including Bollywood, Khrystia has performed over 1800 shows.
Twelve years ago Khrystia moved into the air by learning aerial acrobatics. She is predominantly trained through Circus School of Arizona, in addition to Frequent Flyers of Boulder Colorado, and Elsie Smith of New England Center for Circus Arts. She regularly performs aerial acrobatics at numerous venues and corporate events throughout the Southwest. Khrystia’s apparatuses include aerial silks, sling/hammock, rope, trapeze, lollipop, and lyra. An entertainer at heart, she enjoys sharing knowledge of aerial by teaching regularly.
She started her exciting, fire journey ten years ago with the Circus Farm. Shortly after she met her husbsnd-to-be, Francesco Caban, whilst performing a romantic, acrobatic duet striptease on a trapeze for the burlesque company Scandalesque. A few years later they co-founded Aeroterra Arts mixing their movement talents from the air and the earth.
During this time she has performed professionally all over Arizona and also in New Mexico, Las Vegas and Reno, NV, Oakland, CA, Utah, and Oklahoma.
She has performed with and/or opened for Pitbull, Bret Michaels, Gretchen Wilson, John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls, The Jacksons, Cool and the Gang, Everclear, Journey, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers to name a few.
