🌟 Behind the Scenes with Olga Coronas 🌟
We’re continuing our series of short bios celebrating the incredible team who make the CAC magic happen — and today, we’re spotlighting Olga Coronas!
Olga hails from Kazakhstan, where she began training at her local Youth Circus at just six years old — and quickly knew circus would be her life’s calling. After graduating from the Circus Arts College in Almaty as a professional aerialist, Olga toured Europe, performing at the Almaty Circus and the legendary Liana Orfei’s Golden Circus in Italy. She has graced stages at the Carnivale of Venice and even appeared on Le Plus Grand Cabaret Du Monde in Paris.
In the U.S., Olga has performed with Cirque Productions, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey, NCL cruise ships, Cirque de la Symphonie, Cirque des Voix®, and Las Vegas productions. She is also a proud graduate of the École Nationale de Cirque trainer program.
Today, Olga continues to share her passion and expertise with the next generation of circus artists at the Sailor Circus Academy — inspiring students to reach new heights every day. 🎪✨
👏 Join us in celebrating Olga and all the incredible work she does to keep the circus arts alive and thriving!
