Hair Suspension
A rare circus art and Tink's signature specialty. Suspended by carefully prepared hair, she creates a striking aerial centerpiece. Intimate, intense, impossible to ignore.

Showreel

Magical at first glance. Deeply technical the longer you watch.
Hair suspension, aerial pole, lyra, sling, and dance pole. Built for circus tents, theaters, cabaret stages, and immersive rooms.
The Signature
A circus art centuries old.
Hair suspension is rare and physically demanding. Tink chased a teacher for almost a year, took her first hang on January 29, 2022, and now trains under Danila Bim. It's her main apparatus and the work she's known for.

About
She works in the air.
Tink did competitive cheer for thirteen years and started coaching at seventeen. She left at nineteen, bought her first dance pole during the 2020 shutdown, and taught herself by pulling from cheer, tumbling, and stunting.
Lyra hoop and aerial sling came in 2021. Hair suspension came next. She'd seen it on Instagram and chased it for almost a year before someone would teach her. Her first hair hang was January 29, 2022, on a video call with an artist in Greece.
In 2024 she started training in person with Danila Bim. Hair suspension is her main apparatus now, and the work she's building the career around: touring with Venardos and the Anastasini Circus, year-long residencies like Cirque Frost at the Gaylord Rockies, and choreography credits like the Millennium Finale she built for Sora Contemporary Circus's Vita Volare.
