Born and raised in Binghamton, NY, Kristin Arrow has always had a passion for the performing arts. She attended Binghamton High School where she entered into the International Baccalaureatte program as well as the Rod Serling School of Fine Arts. Here she fell in love with dance, acting, and musical theater. At this young age she first experienced performing professionally under the artistic direction and technical guidance of Karen Koyanagi with the Rod Serling Dance Company, and even travelled on tour as far as Africa.
While studying geological science at Binghamton University, Kristin found herself performing with multiple theatrical and culturally diverse dance organizations. Learning and being exposed to several dance styles from different genres such as Latin, Filipino, Dancehall, and more, she began blending different forms of dance together into single performances. After college, Kristin found herself in Miami, Fl studying aerial silk, dance trapeze, and lyra with Evgueni Baranok. Kristin has had the pleasure of teaching ballet at Nova Gymnastics to the girls team, and aerial arts classes at Miami Gymnastics and Dance Academy.
Since then, Kristin has travelled the world as a professional aerialist, dancer, and model, sharing her talents in locations such as The Smithsonian, Panama City, Panama; Calgary, Canada; and Bridgetown, Barbados to name a few. She has been featured in shows for Mary Kay, Food Network, CA World, Aspen Jazz Festival, Jamaican Independence Day, The Atlantis, Super Bowl events, and many more high end events. Kristin has performed alongside legendary bands and artists such as Styx, 112, Busta Rhymes, Pit Bull, Don Omar, and Romeo Santos; as well as world-renowned DJs like AfroJack, David Guetta, Dead Mau5, Lil’ John, and more. She has had the honor of being a special guest performing at many celebrity events for the likes of Jim Carey, Holly Madison, Kevin Dillon, Nicole Scherzinger, Kim Kardashian, Jason Taylor, the Dallas Cowboys, and several others. Just a few of her modeling credits include national print ads for VPX Sports Redline, Smartphones.com, the face of Starbooth Video Karaoke, the cover and 2 page spread of Human Performance Magazine, fashion shows for Apple Bottom, Luxury, Nycked, Lycra, Bullets for Peace, and Calvin Klein. Television appearances range from Univision's "Sabado Gigante", Telemundo's "Descontrol", Deco Drive, The Latin Billboard's, The Latin Grammies, and Bahamas Celebration commercials with Carmen Electra and Daisy Fuentes. Media Kristin has appeared in ranges from the front cover of "The Miami Herald" to "Modern Luxury Magazine" to "Ocean Magazine" and many more. On a more permanent basis, Kristin was the lead, aerialist featured in "Temptation Cabaret" in the Hard Rock of Hollywood, Fl., the permanent featured aerialist and aerial coordinator for the Opium Group, the silk performer in the international and national tours of Cirque USA's "Cirque Odessy" and even assisted in the choreography of "Rock the Big Top." Of all the events she has been a part of, Kristin's favorite and most unique appearance was performing silk outside 70' in the air on a crane for Eugene Melnyk's party.
Kristin's passion and dedication has led her to become a success, performing professionally for corporate shows, theater shows, television appearances, and concerts world wide. She takes from her extensive performance background to create original aerial and dance creations that can morph from one style to another. She enjoys being an innovator, making new tricks, and inspiring others to think outside the box. Her yearning for artistic expression and need to create pieces that offer something new for audiences, be it two unlikely genres meshed together or a thought provoking concept, has led her to create Flying Arrow Productions.
JOSEPH ST. LOUIS: Vice President of Operations, Assistant Artistic Director, Co-founder
mailto:Joseph@flying-arrow.com
Joseph M. St. Louis finds a unique and unorthodox way to tell stories within his dance and movement.
He started bboying (breakdancing) at age 17and spent many years learning and understanding how dance can be expressed as art. His journeys found him traveling and competing in many different cities and countries from New York, to LA, to Japan, and beyond. He has exhibited his work on numerous stage shows, events, concerts, and more.
Joseph was introduced to cirque arts with the intent to better himself as a Bboy. This is when he met the man who changed his life, Evgeni Bararonk. Being formally trained by a Moscow State Circus alumni, he found interest in the German wheel, aerial arts, and pair acro. Here, he also met the woman who would shape and mold him as a performer, Kristin Arrow. She has helped him tap into his inner-self to convey a message in his movement.
While his cirque performances have commanded the attention of powerful corporate clients such as Allstate Insurance Company and Habitat for Humanity, and found him performing on a regular basis at some of the largest nightclubs like Mansion, Play, and Bongos; his dancing has allowed viewers to see him in television appearances for the likes of the Hooters' International Swimsuit Pageant and performing at the BMI Awards and for artists such as Ludacris; his acting skills have placed him in TV episodes of shows like CSI Miami; and his model-esque looks have put him in front of audiences for fashion shows such as Calvin Klein, and Nycked/Lycra. Joseph is an artist with a unique style combining all aspects of his background. He blends strength, grace, and emotion to live his way through each performance.
In addition, Joseph has stage-managed several cirque-style shows such as Cirque USA's "Electric Circuit" and has been the behind-the-scenes driving force of many other high-end performances like the NFL Player's Association Cirque show. He now makes his home with Flying Arrow Productions. When assisting in building acts and routines for others, he offers an original outlook that transforms their routine from the ordinary to the extraordinary. As a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry, we are glad to have him on our team!
