New York Cat (they/them) is a multidisciplinary performer who has studied dance since they were 5 and whose eclectic dance style fuses classical ballet with modern, tap, jazz, contemporary, pointe, partnering, hip-hop, West African, vogue, tribal, and belly dance. Performing in NYC since age 15, they grew up training with renowned artists including Mia Michaels, Dan Karaty, Suzi Taylor, Terry Beeman, Joe Lanteri, Lisa Danias, Finis Jhung, Daniel Catanach, Debbie Allen, and more.

At 17, Cat performed Mia Michaels’ repertory under her direction at Riverside Church, then attended NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts where they studied abroad in Africa and danced with the Ghana National Dance Company. After earning their BFA, they toured nationally and appeared in numerous regional musicals before a hit-and-run injury shifted their focus toward film and TV, with appearances on Broad City, High Maintenance, Law & Order, The Bridge, Incarnate, and more.

Certified by Aerospace founders Michael Olajide Jr. and Leila Fazel, Cat became a sought-after personal trainer and group fitness instructor, specializing in flexibility, mobility, and injury prevention at 305 Fitness and privately.

A vibrant nightlife and festival performer, Cat has been a resident artist at House of Yes (7.5 yrs), Henrietta Hudson (4 yrs), and The Newsroom (1.5 yrs), and has performed for Hot Rabbit, Glitterbox, UltraMaroon, and countless NYC venues- The Plaza Hotel, The Box, The Stranger, David Geffen Hall, Rainbow Room, Musica, Sony Hall, Paradise Club, Webster Hall and so many more, plus global festivals including Defected: Croatia, Envision, Elements, Burning Man, and Hulaween.

An accomplished aerialist with over 12 years of training, Cat performs on cage, moon, cube, straps, and lyra—their signature apparatus. They debuted their first fire act at Envision Festival in 2015 and have since performed with Flambeaux Fire and Enchanted in NYC.

A passionate vegan, queer, and trans artist-activist, Cat advocates for LGBTQ+, AFAB, BIPOC, and environmental justice through their art and organizing work as well as with the Poor People’s Campaign.

A minimum ceiling height of 8 ft is required depending on the apparatus and style of performance. A performance footprint of approximately 8x8 ft (20x20 ft preferred) with a flat, level surface is needed for safe installation.
Performance can be rigged from a load-rated overhead point that meets dynamic load requirements, or a freestanding aerial rig can be provided if no rigging is available (our portable aerial rig is ideal for venues without existing rigging points (common for rooftops, private events, and outdoor spaces). I’m happy to coordinate directly with your venue, production team, DJs or Live Musicians to assess the best and safest setup.
Setup typically requires 60–90 minutes, with approximately 45–60 minutes for breakdown. Access to the performance area during this time is required.
Indoor and outdoor events are both possible; however, outdoor performances are weather-dependent and cannot take place in unsafe conditions such as high winds, rain, or extreme temperatures.
Dedicated lighting is best for evening performances.
Fully insured, with a certificate of insurance available upon request.
