Aqualillies

Aqualillies is a professional synchronised swimming/dance company founded in 2008 with teams in California, New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Canada, France, and Australia. They are known as pioneers in the renaissance of water ballet as entertainment. Their work has been seen most notably in the Coen Brothers' 2016 film Hail, Caesar!, Glee, Jane the Virgin, ABC's Splash, the TED (Conference), Miami Fashion Week, Kim Kardashian Toasts The Emmys, and for Esther Williams at the Turner Classic Movies's Film Festival. They also offer seasonal synchronized swimming fitness classes

History
The company was founded by Mesha Kussman, a graduate of New York University (Experimental Theater Wing) in 2008 with the intention to enliven the Hollywood Pool Party scene with water entertainment. The initial company included a combination of former National Team swimmers and dancers who trained in swimming. The company's first residency was at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.

In January 2010, Aqualillies launched synchronized swimming fitness classes at the Annenberg Community Beach House (among other locations), offering training in basic synchronized swimming skills.
