CIRCUS ARTIST BACKGROUND

I was born in Tampere, Finland in 1993, and my journey into the world of performance began at the age of 4 when I started learning gymnastics. Over the course of 6 years, I dedicated myself to Artistic Gymnastics, followed by 6 years of Aesthetic Group Gymnastics. It was during this time that I joined Sorin Sirkus, a youth circus, which exposed me to various circus disciplines. However, it was handstands, contortion, and aerial hoop that truly captured my heart at the beginning. From 2009 to 2012, I was an integral part of the Sorin Sirkus performing group.
In 2010, I embarked on a journey as Duo Minja, training in duo contortion and duo aerial hoop. Together, as duo we participated in Finland's Got Talent in 2012, where we showcased our talent and reached the finals. Since 2012 we started performing professionally, captivating audiences not only in Finland but also on international stages.
While excelling as a duo performer, I also dedicated significant time to training in other disciplines as a soloist. As my career progressed, I continued to expand my skill set. Since 2013, I have had the privilege of performing as a multidisciplinary performer, captivating audiences across the globe.
My passion for growth and versatility drives me to constantly learn new skills and disciplines, ensuring that I am always evolving as a performer!
