Welcome to the world of wonder and artistry of Anastasiia, a professional circus performer specializing in hula-hoop, contortion, and aerial performances. Born in a beautiful small town in Ukraine, Anastasiia’s journey into the world of performance began at an early age.

At the age of seven, she joined the children’s circus studio “Melange-Art,” and this early exposure to the circus arts led to a significant milestone in 2016 when, as part of a group of neon jugglers, Anastasiia became a finalist on “Ukrainian Got Talent. Kids.”

From 2017 to 2018, her skills and passion took her to the renowned Ukrainian circus Kobzov, where she performed as a neon and fire juggler of the ballet. This period was incredibly enriching and solidified her passion and love for performing and circus arts.

In 2018, Anastasiia furthered her skills by entering the Kiev Municipal Academy of Circus and Performing Arts. There, she studied juggling, contortion with hoops, acting, pantomime, and both classical and modern choreography, graduating with a Junior Specialist degree in 2021 and embarking on a journey toward earning a Bachelor’s degree. At the Academy, she was mentored by Iryna Pitsur, a renowned artist and coach, who played a crucial role in shaping Anastasiia’s unique style and performance techniques.

Anastasiia’s act is a combination of grace, sensuality, and the aesthetics of professional hooping tricks, all brought to life with beautiful costumes and music written especially for the performance. It’s a new vision of hula-hoop art, directed by Iryna Pitsur.

Anastasiia has had the privilege of collaborating with Celebrity Cruises, being part of their inaugural cast on the launch of their new ship, Celebrity Beyond. This opportunity allowed her to work with esteemed producers such as Dondraico Johnson, Michelle Lynskey, Holly Palmer, and Michael Fatice, enriching the shows with her expertise in hula-hoop, contortion, and aerial acts. Additionally, Anastasiia was a part of the collaboration between Cirque Éloize and Princess Cruises, where she performed in various disciplines such as hula-hoop, aerial pole, silks, and dance. She has toured across the USA, bringing joy, wonder, and inspiration to diverse audiences.

This is just the beginning of her adventure in the performing arts, and having had many opportunities to showcase her talent on stages all over the world, it creates a burning excitement in her to see where the journey takes her next!
