Silvia is a hula hoop dancer and fire performer, based in London. She discovered circus on the streets and became totally entranced by this art form. The street was in fact her first teacher, as Silvia started performing in the piazzas of Rome, where she comes from.

After completing her MA in languages, Silvia realized that sitting at a desk all day with headphones on was not quite right. Her heart told her to quit the dictionaries and take her passion for the circus to another level, so she dived onto the Foundation Degree in Circus Arts at the National Centre for Circus Arts, London, where she specialized in hula hoops.
