Kasey Topp
Kasey is one of the 3 founders of the Colorado Acro Fest along with Darren Ceckanowicz & Christine Moonbeam. She currently helps direct the leadership team. She discovered acro over 10 years ago, and loves the community and connection that partner acrobatics fosters. She also met her husband Steve Groendyk through acrobatics-- and has been guaranteed corbetts until age 70-- It's a legal contract ;)

Monica Stert
Monica is new to the Colorado Acro Fest leadership team this year, serving as our special projects manager and community connector! After being introduced to acro in 2019, it accidentally took over her life and she came to learn, teach, perform, and organize acro events throughout the United States the past several years (Las Vegas, the Santa Monica Green, Albuquerque, Seattle, and New York to name a few). She has since settled down in Boulder where she's able to fulfill her passions beyond circus and interpersonal dynamics, including working with kids, reading fantasy books, and going on wild handstand adventures with her pup Hazel.
