Halle Baart

Halle grew up in a small town outside of Ottawa, Ontario. After finding a passion for dance at the West Carleton School of Performing Arts, she went on to compete for several years with Capital City Dance, winning several awards for her contortion, contemporary and jazz solos.

At fourteen, Halle moved to Montreal to expand her love of performing in a more creative and diverse way at the National Circus School by exploring the possibilities of circus arts. She spent two years developing an acrobatic base in the high school program before moving on to the three year higher education program.

Halle specialized in “strapeze”, a modified version of dance trapeze, so as to harmonize her background in dance with her acrobatic abilities. Halle will graduate in June 2019 with a Diploma of Collegial Studies in Circus Arts after completing three years exploring growth, courage, vulnerability, sharpness, fluidity, and hunger for a new challenge.

Following her graduation, Halle performed in Australia with Strut n Fret's electric show "LOVE RIOT" as a contortionist. Between 2020 and 2023 Halle took a step away from circus to pursue other goals, but returned to the stage in 2023 in Switzerland, where she toured for 6 months with Circus Monti. In 2024 Halle looks forward to performing and travelling all over the world.
