Jessie Rard
(He/They)

With over a decade of intensive training in contortion and physical performance, Jessie has made circus arts a central focus of their life. Since 2016 they have been sharing this passion by supporting others in their pursuit of the art form.

Jessie’s relationship with the circus started with an after-school YouTube search and quickly transformed into a passion project to last a lifetime. He got his start training in his parents’ basement, searching for any information on the art of contortion during a time before circus arts had reached the level of viral popularity it enjoys today.

In 2016 Jessie moved to Anchorage and started teaching at Cathedral Pole and Dance, as well as performing contortion, aerial, and burlesque at many local venues.

In 2019 Jessie left Alaska to pursue full time training at San Diego Circus School and then launched his business, Twisted Fox Training, a year later. He blends traditional circus training with modern knowledge of physical therapy and biomechanics to create more accessibility for the art form. Jessie teaches all levels of flexibility from absolute beginner through advanced contortion. In addition, he specializes in coaching strength training and weightlifting for hypermobile pole dancers and aerialists.
