I love disco music because it's from the seventies like me. My theme song is Abba's 'Dancing Queen, young and sweet only seventeen ' So I am only seventeen years old and I have had this same stupid joke for the last ten years ..I don't like football and I don't understand what is so special with the royal family, queen mother etc. So I don't get along very well the English culture.
And the weather here is terrible! I couldn't stand staying here in London if I was not doing circus .. I am spending my days up in the air or upside down on the floor! My specialisation is Cloudswing. But I also do rope and static trapeze. I also love tap dancing, dancing, handstands and tightwire ..
I've have found Circus Space to be like a big playground for those who don't want to grow up. It's worth contacting me cause I'm a sexy beast.
