Instructor Bio:

I have been working in the circus industry for 13 years, 8 of them concentrating in particular on my solo Chinese Pole act. For the past 7 years I’ve been fortunate to work at Cirque Du Soleil’s “Amaluna” as a solo artist and main character.

My background is artistic gymnastics where I competed for 16 years. After I did an audition in Moscow where I was invited for training at Cirque Headquarters in Montreal, for the first time in 2008 and the second time in 2009. Following the second training I received my first contract and joined the cast of Saltimbanco, where I worked for 2 years and toured more than 50 countries.
