I am a professionally trained dancer and
have been working as an aerial performer since the
Millennium Dome show contract. I trained in ballet/
contemporary& jazz technique and have done a wide
variety of jobs from working in a contemporary dance
company, performing at the Millennium Dome in London to
working as a soloist with Giffords Circus, a british
traditional travelling circus for 4 years. I've done
theatre work and have performed as part of an outdoor
aerial show on the 'Ocean Village' cruise liner for the
past year and a half where I was employed as an
aerialist/ dancer and performed on the Cloudswing,
cordelisse and aerial silks.
I have been a performer all my life
and have taken part in quite a few magazine shoots
relating to my work as a circus artist. I have never
solely worked as a model but would like to get a bit
more into it maybe using the specialist skills I already
have (I work on the vertical rope, aerial silks and
stilts and can fire eat. I'm also a trained dancer& and
am very keen on personal fitness.)
