From the moment she was young, Alanna Glennon has been captivated by the magic of circus acrobatics. Starting her training at just 11 years old, she has poured her heart into every flip, spin, and aerial feat, chasing her lifelong dream of performing with a major circus company.
But Alanna’s path hasn’t been easy. At 17, a serious shoulder injury from cheerleading left her battling intense nerve pain and forced her to completely rebuild her shoulder strength from the ground up. Then, at 21, a work accident caused a severe concussion that sidelined her for two full years. Vertigo, frequent migraines, and the challenge of rebuilding her balance tested her determination like never before.
Through resilience, dedication, and sheer love for her craft, Alanna has overcome both setbacks. Four years later, she’s back stronger than ever — confidently performing big drops and spinning sequences once again.
Now, as a passionate performer and inspiring youth instructor at Elevated Fitness Mt., Alanna brings her hard-earned experience and infectious enthusiasm to every class and every performance. Her story is a powerful reminder that with heart and perseverance, we can rise above any challenge and return to what we love most.
Catch Alanna in action or join one of her youth classes at Elevated Fitness Mt. — where she’s helping the next generation discover the joy and strength of circus acrobatics!

Formed on the glacial flood plains of eastern Washington, Atomic Frequencies has always been about more than its human founders..it is the sum of its wildly unique and undeniably eccentric parts! From states apart these musical vessels have allowed the ancient ethereal gods of vibration to weave new tonal pathways through every ear they encounter. Their all-encompassing style mixes together many genres into one singular groove created for the sole purpose of hardcore lounging. Absorb it on a road trip, on the back porch with your grandma, or in a dark room alone. Between the humor, weirdness, love, and revolution…there is nowhere this zesty goodness cannot permeate.

michael began his Montana journey through his wife Libby’s parents, who then owned the Snowcrest Ranch near Alder, Montana. When running a cattle ranch became too much, they bought their home in Bigfork on Flathead Lake in the '90's, where our families enjoyed many summers. “Our Montana Sky” tells the story of our amazing experience in Montana - time on the Lake, fly fishing the Kootenai, trips to Glacier National Park – but mostly about family together.
