Dancewear
Creators of Flex Trista and Brittany have been friends for over two decades. Dance brought them together all those years ago, creating an unbreakable bond, and dance is what has brought us back together now.
After all those years, their daughters started to dance together and inspired them to start SuttleFlex.
As mothers of dancers, their dancewear is designed with dancers in mind. Every piece they produce is tried on real dancers, danced in, and modified until its just right.
“Our process may take longer than most, but we strive for all dancers to feel confident and be comfortable every time they hit the dance floor. Our goal is for each dancer to shine and be their most unique self while they“kill it in the most humble way” – the definition of Suttle Flex. “

Pro instructor Hayley Cabral teaches her specialized contortion technique that she has developed after 20 years of performing as a professional hand-balancing contortionist. She blends her extensive knowledge of Mongolian Contortion with Russian hand-balancing, and Rhythmic gymnastics techniques together to create a balanced curriculum of exercises that promote flexibility supported by strength and control.
Her professional experience as a touring artist in several different environments has taught her that the most important life lesson contortion teaches kids is to never give up. Acrobatics is a skill that requires athletes to try again and again to achieve results. Kids learn that they can achieve their goals if they stay focused, practice consistently and believe in themselves!
