Eliana has been tumbling, bending, and climbing on whatever she could ever since starting gymnastics at the age of four. Only eight years later, her acrobatic skill begin to lead her toward a future career as she joined the Splash Circus/ Circus Spire Youth Performance Troupe (Emeryville/ Oakland, CA, USA).

With unique teaching methods and specialties in musicality, choreography and creative movement, Eliana brings individual attention to her students and helps them to achieve their own goals.
