How did you first get into circus arts?
I started Rythmic Gymnastics when I was 4. At age 12, I joined the world famous National team of Rythmic Gymnastics in Ukraine. I took part in many national and international competitions, winning many medals. At age 16, I moved to Germany, to practise in the German national RSG team. At 18, I went back to Kiev, Ukraine and joined the National University of Physical Education and Sport of Ukraine. I met friends there who showed me and told me about circus life and career! I got very excited about it! Then, when I was 19, I first started to practise in a circus-theater in Kiev! All my life I had the best coaches, so it was always very interesting to start something new, something exciting, I fell in love with circus arts!

Your Hula Hoop act is world class, where did you learn to do it?
I was in Rythmic Gymnastics. And the first place where I started to practise and then work in, it was a circus-theater in Kiev. Then I chose to have a manager and I left for Germany, where I worked with great artists on my new hula-hoops act! We were able to find my own style. In 2006, Olena Yakimenko first created for me a Hula-hoops act! I took part for the first time in a circus festival in that same year, then I got work in different varieties and theaters, and in circus.

Where was your first contract?
My first work was in Kiev, with my circus-theater, but the first time I left my country was to work in Basel, Switzerland.

What has been the most memorable experience you have had in your career?
It was when I worked in Hong Kong for Mr. Acerbi, and shared the stage with Viktor Kee, Aurelia Cats and Duo Nostalgia It was an exclusive, big gala show - and for me it was so exciting to work there.

What do you see for your future?
For the future I have so many plans. My choreographer and I are just changing a bit about my hula-hoops act. We have a plan with handbalancing act, with a very great idea! For the 2008 year I am planning to work in USA and Germany. I have so many plans for my future and I hope everything will come in true! >> Thank you
