Daniella Arata Quiroga

My name is Daniella Arata Quiroga and I am an eighth generation circus performer and first generation handbalancer in my family. I was born and raised on a traveling circus my whole life where training and performing were the focal points. I began training contortion and dance (includiing jazz, lyrical, and ballet) at the age of 8 and began training handbalancing at the age of 12.

Handbalancing has become a passion of mine and my goal in life is to travel the world performing for audiences and experiencing the different circus cultures. Through my years of performing, act creation has also become an interest of mine that i enjoy greatly. Finding music and creating movements to it really allows me to feel connected to my performance, and it has allowed me to become a better artist. I also have experience in aerial hoop/lyra and dance, as well as acro duo. I am open to and enjoy working in show productions and with other performers.
