About Daniela

Daniela’s love of the performing arts began at an early age with competitive rhythmic gymnastics, ballet, and contemporary dance. At six years old, she attended her first Cirque du Soleil show, Kooza, and knew she wanted to be a circus performer. She began serious training in aerial arts and contortion as a pre-teen, building strength, flexibility, and endurance. By age 14, she was performing professionally as an aerialist and contortionist throughout metro Atlanta.

She attended intensive circus training programs, including the National Circus School summer program in Montreal and later moved to San Diego to attend San Diego Circus School’s Full-Time Prep Program. She also holds certificates in aerial training from the Circus Arts Institute. Daniela especially enjoys aerial choreography, where she can bring together her love of music, dance, and contortion. As an instructor, she enjoys helping students build strong foundations, gain confidence in the air, and develop their own individual style.
