In Center Ring – Episode 14: Shenea “Stiletto” Booth – PART 1: “You Can Say, ‘No’!”
In Center Ring presents the astonishing Shenea Booth, world champion and hall of fame acrobatic gymnast turned circus star.
In this first of a two part series Shenea invites us on her fantastic ride to the heights of her remarkable career as an acrobatic gymnast to stardom under the big top. She shares the importance of mentorship and the brilliance of her beloved Eastern European coaches, who laid the foundation that would produce this stellar professional, and afford her the ability to navigate her own career. She welcomes us into the inner workings and even politics of competitive gymnastics, as well as, the anti-American sentiment that is rife in international competition.
