Paulette's Studio of Dance

Come fly with us!

This beginner-focused Aerial Silks class uses silky fabrics that are suspended from the ceiling to tone your body while allowing for freedom from the constraints of the floor. We have designed our classes to progress from beginner aerialists to skill levels that are comfortable for you. Aerial silks classes are a great way to get in shape and experience the joy of weightlessness.

ONLY ONE SPOT LEFT!!

Looking to explore fluid, sensual movement? Join us at the studio for our very first Liquid Motion® workshop!

Your licensed Liquid Motion® instructor, Taylor, will use dance theory, natural organic movement and the Liquid Motion® techniques and fundamentals to build a proper foundation for floor work. Students will be led through a 15-20 min full body warm up involving cardiovascular work, full body conditioning and mobility exercises. The bulk of the class will take you through intricate floor flows and across the floor drills. The class will end with time for each student to explore their new found skills, and then a proper cool down and recovery to close out the Liquid Motion® experience.

Liquid Motion® is an all-inclusive, gender-neutral open level class where no experience is necessary!

Krisilyn Tony Frazier began her Samba training in 2022 with Jamie Arôxa and Kiri Chapman, studying Samba no pé, zouk, and partner technique.

Her movement foundation is further enriched through training in Afro-diasporic dance forms, including Afro-Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, Afro-Haitian, and Congolese styles, grounding her work in rhythm, cultural awareness, and embodied expression.
In March 2026, she hosted Jamie Arôxa and Kiri Chapman for the Annual Carnival Celebration Workshop at Paulette’s Studio of Dance in Toledo, Ohio.

She continues her mentorship and study with professor and professional Passista Alessandra Holanda since 2024. Krisilyn’s Samba journey is also rooted in the International Samba Congress (ISC) in Los Angeles, founded by Aninha Malandro, whose work has played a vital role in preserving and sharing Samba and Gafieira worldwide.

Through ISC, her training includes masterclasses with internationally recognized artists such as Laura BomBom, Gustavo Siqueira, Rainha Vânia Oliveira, Rainha Thai Rodrigues, Angelique Starks, and more.
