Here, Paxton quickly became a lead coach and performance troupe member for Aerial Arts of Rochester, coaching many circus classes, developing the sought after Acro-Chair Dance program, directing the studios Fringe Festival show “ROAR” (2022), and performing professionally throughout upstate NY. 

Paxton relocated to Brattleboro, VT in 2023 to directly enter year 2 of New England Center for Circus Arts (NECCA) Protrack Program, majoring in contortion and minoring in aerial chair. She is committed to spreading her knowledge, creativity, and inspiration to the world!
