In 2018, Laura Haley developed an aerial program for kids and adults at Queens Dance Project. In the span of almost two years, the program flourished and a supportive community of aerialists in training was born. We wanted to expand this amazing aerial community to create and make aerial a larger part of North East Queens for both adults and children. Danielle recognized this great opportunity to collaborate with Laura and open up a space of their own, and the idea of Aerial Haven was born! We want to create an aerial home for those around the North East Queens area who don't have easy access into Manhattan, and which can also accommodate those on the cusp of Long Island.
