Megan Loreen is an any-and-all apparatus professional aerial performer and instructor. While teaching in studios under her name (meganloreen.com) and founding Creative Movement Arts (creativemovementarts.com) for circus productions, she still finds it important to give back to the aerial community and be a judge of all levels and apparatuses in competitions around the world. Assisting others in their journey and watching them learn skills in a fraction of the time it took her, gives Megan immense joy.

She always knew performing was a part of her soul since a child, and that took many forms before she found her forever home with aerial. Singing, theatre, instrumental music, collegiate drum major, drill team, dance, anything that involved learning a new skill to perform served as fuel. Thinking she had it figured out, Megan graduated college with a Music Education degree and taught in schools for 10 years, though during this time, she still wasn’t satisfied. She coached and choreographed many drill teams, began taking pointe as an adult, but then eventually stumbled across aerial in 2013. Since then, she slowly realized that aerial and movement were her passions and ultimately transitioned to creative movement full time in 2022.

Megan holds multiple regional and national titles in lyra, sling, trapeze, and chains, and has performed those as well pole, lyra-pole, cube, acro prop, silks, and fan dance around the country. She is an ambassador for Dew Point Products and Rogue Bodyworks, and a USA Lyra Legend for Miss Lyra Australia. Fun fact, Megan was the 2021 Miss Mermaid Iowa of Miss Mermaid USA.
