Hi, I’m Araceli Mja — a professional dancer, aerial artist, and choreographer with roots in Mexico and a permanent home now in Canada. Dance and performance have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember — so much so that I carry the words “Never Stop Dancing” tattooed on my arm as a reminder of my dedication to this path. I hold a degree in Dramatic Literature and Theatre from the University of Mexico (UNAM), where I also trained extensively in choreography, dance, acting, and direction.

Since 2007, I’ve built a diverse and fulfilling career performing and teaching across a wide range of disciplines: aerial arts (silks, hoop, hammock, Spanish rope), fire dance, salsa, bachata, barre, gogo, stretching, contemporary, and traditional dance My performance journey has taken me to renowned venues such as the Riu, Secrets and Barcelo hotels in Mexico, where I not only performed for international audiences but also developed a strong foundation in show production and audience engagement.

In 2016, I expanded my focus to teaching, leading both group and private classes for students of all ages and backgrounds. I’m passionate about helping others explore their creative potential, whether through learning a new aerial skill, building strength and flexibility, or preparing for a stage performance. My teaching style is inclusive, empowering, and grounded in both artistic expression and safe, progressive technique.

Beyond the studio, I specialize in creating custom performances for events of all sizes — from intimate birthday parties to high-impact corporate events and even stadium-scale productions. I design each show with intention, combining my skills in aerial arts, fire performance, and choreography to craft unforgettable visual experiences tailored to each occasion.

Now based in Canada permanently, I’m excited to continue sharing my artistry, teaching, and energy with this vibrant and growing community. Whether you’re looking for a performance that captivates or a class that challenges and inspires, I would love to connect and help bring your vision — or your movement journey — to life.
