About the instructor

Pippi Parnasse is an aerialist and pole instructor in the Chicago area. She has eight years of experience in acrobatic pole, and six years in aerial silks. She has trained and taught in New York, New Jersey, Paris, Berlin, and now Chicago. She acquired the nickname Pippi because she usually wears her hair in pigtails to keep it out of the way when she trains. Her classes focus on safety, strength, and a common sense approach to learning new tricks.
