Photo by Alloy ImagesMs. Jessy Bell found the circus arts because she loved dance as a child, but struggled finding an appropriate expression as an adult. Attracted to the sexy ambiance of pole, she has invested years of training in that apparatus, but later began training with the silks to broaden her aerial practice. She is so grateful for this athletic and artistic outlet, as she feels it keeps her sane as she pursues an education in medicine.
