I am a split fabric Aerialist and Coach at Ethereal Rebels - House of Flight. I am also a certified Pilates instructor with a love for flow, intentional movement, and creative strength training.

Lyndsey Burgess
Intro / Intermediate Sling
I have been involved in aerial arts for over 10 years, learning, teaching, and performing throughout the valley. I have experience across a wide range of apparatuses, including rope, lyra, trapeze, net, split fabric, and sling, with a primary focus on sling and split fabric. My goal is to help students build strength and confidence by creating a safe, supportive space where they can learn, explore, and grow in their aerial practice. Let’s fly!
Shalako Lee
Intro / Intermediate Lyra Instructor
I’m a multi-disciplined aerial artist with over a decade of experience performing and training throughout Southern Oregon. I specialize in aerial lyra at Ethereal Rebels and House of Flight, bringing a strong foundation of technique, creativity, and performance quality into my teaching. I’m passionate about helping students build strength, confidence, and artistry in the air while fostering a supportive environment that encourages both technical growth and personal expression.
Sam Sheley
Juniors Aerial Instructor
At age 5 I began exploring movement and flow, a passion I have pursued ever since. I have performance and instructional backgrounds in ballet, fusion dance, and fitness. I enjoy working with athletes of all ages and abilities. For me, it is a great thrill to watch others achieve what they previously thought unattainable.
Allison Birch
Rope Instructor
I discovered aerial silks in 2018 while searching for a new way to build full-body strength. Coming from a powerlifting background, moving in the air didn’t come naturally, but the excitement and supportive aerial community kept me motivated. After seeing my first rope performance in 2020, I was captivated by its blend of strength, grace, and artistry and knew I had to try it.
I began training Rope in 2022 and later earned my Level 1 teacher training with Paper Doll Militia in 2025. I love sharing my passion with the community and bringing a light-hearted, supportive approach to helping students build strength and confidence in the air. All levels are welcome, and I hope to train with you soon!
