Performer Bio
Tank began her performing arts career at age 9 as a classical ballet, and balkan folk dancer in her hometown of Pittsburgh, USA. She then moved to Chicago where she earned her Bachelors in Fine Arts, majoring in Costume Design. Inspired by working for a Cirque du Soleil show in 2003, she began private lessons in trapeze with Shayna Swanson. Shortly after, she joined the Aloft Aerial Dance Company.
Then later...
She moved to the land down under to further study circus arts and performance techniques. She now lives in Melbourne, Australia, where she works and trains. She has earned a Bachelors in Circus Arts at NICA, the National Institute of Circus Arts, where she fine-tuned her aerial skills, and picked up foot juggling and fire performance.
And Now...
She performs at many local and international clubs and events. She has been featured in many Cabaret nights, conventions, burlesque nights, and full-scale shows. Tank also helps organize and produce circus nights at local club events. And she's always coming up with fresh ideas!
