Mikayla Dinsdale

Mikayla Dinsdale began her training at the San Francisco Circus Center at ten years old. She continued her career at ÉSAC (École Supérieure des Arts Du Cirque) in Brussels, Belgium where she specialized in Aerial Hoop.

Her recent show credits include: Immortals of Aveum (motion capture artist), The Secret Garden (Circus Center), Reindeer Games and The Nightingale with People's Circus Theater, and the off-broadway production of {IN}TANGIBLE.
