Laura Hunt

 

Laura Hunt’s love of creative expression flows through music and movement. Growing up in competitive gymnastics and cheerleading, she naturally found her way into coaching — a path she followed for nearly a decade. Her journey then carried her into the world of aerial silks, where she performed for many years with the Hamilton Aerial Group. In her own words: “My heart is very happy when I am flipping, twirling and teaching!”

 

Neka (Shashwananeka Lili Banchotova AKA Shash)

 

At just 12 years old, Neka — full name Shashwananeka Lili Banchotova — is already a seasoned aerial performer. She began her training at age 9 under the guidance of Laura Hunt, and the two have since grown into an inspired performing duo known as Di*Vine Tribe. Neka brings youthful energy, grace, and natural talent to every performance, and is proud to be the youngest co-host at Frog Hollow Integrative Art Experience.
