An anomaly is defined as something different, abnormal, or not easily classified. Our next performer, Ann Omelee, is a dancer, instructor, and performer who started dancing 10 years ago. She started her performance career gracing the stages of St Petersburg & Tampa, Florida since 2022, and life brought her here to Charlotte a year ago. She’s a lover of rock, alternative, and metal, and all things dark & divine. Her stage persona can best be described as mysterious, witchy, slow & sensual, yet angry & heavy….she just can’t be fit into one box. She’s simply an anomaly.

Aerialist. Mover. Dancer. Forever learner.
I began my pole/aerial journey in 2022. As soon as I touched a pole I became obsessed (I’m a saggitarius, I’m sure you understand 🧑🏻🩰). I also discovered a deep love for dance on and off the pole.
In 2024, I became an instructor at Lush Movement Company and currently teach alternative flow and aerial hoop. I also occasionally teach Latin and ballroom dance. I love helping others and seeing students succeed.
I have performed and competed in many different settings across the US including; PSO, Exxotica, Ren Faires, and charity events.
I love being curious and am always learning. 🖤

Holli Lugosi has been an aerialist for eight years and treats every performance as an extension of herself. Known for her commitment to authenticity, she weaves intricate details and erotic symbolism into routines that serve as vessels of storytelling and self-compassion. Drawn to reimagining aerial apparatuses beyond their expected limits, she finds power in deliberate tension and unexpected shapes. She is most at home in the “lowest of flows with the tallest heels,” where control, contrast, and intention define her movement.
