Circus performer in Halifax

Through the years, so much has changed.

Different hoop performances, different costumes, different gear, different stages, different versions of me.

But one thing has stayed the same: I still love doing this.

No matter how many times I perform, there is something about being in the air that always brings me back to who I am.

POV: You came to see the buskers and couldn’t help but stop for pictures with this amazing silver statue.

Some performances just make the whole festival feel magical.

In 2018, I met this wonderful performer in Quebec City, and I still remember how I couldn’t stop smiling during his show.

Mi amigo Pancho Libre 🌟

He is truly one of the funniest and most talented performers I have ever met from Mexico 🇲🇽
His energy, timing, personality, and connection with the audience are unforgettable.

If you are in Halifax for the Halifax Busker Festival, please go see his performance. I will definitely be watching his show again.

As a circus artist myself, I always admire the incredible artists who come to Canada and to Halifax to share their talent with us. These are the moments that remind me why I love this world so much.

Thank you to Halifax Busker Festival for bringing him back to Downtown Halifax Halifax Regional Municipality

Gracias, mi amigo Pancho Libre - Tu show fue increíble, divertido y lleno de alegría. Estoy muy feliz de verte de nuevo.

I’m finally ready to share these beautiful pictures with you. 🤍

This morning was incredibly special to me. It was the morning I became a bride, filled with excitement, emotion, and the quiet moments of getting ready for one of the most meaningful days of my life.

There are so many beautiful photographs and memories still to come, but I wanted to begin by sharing these first precious moments 🤍

In 2018, my sister took me on a trip to Montreal. I remember standing outside the Cirque du Soleil headquarters with my eyes wide open, walking around the building and trying to understand that I was really there.

This was the place where artists from around the world trained and created. It was the place so many circus artists dreamed of reaching. I couldn’t believe that a girl from Belarus was standing right in front of it.

After that trip, I returned to Belarus before eventually coming back to Canada and building my life here.

This photo was taken four years later, in 2022, during another unforgettable trip to Montreal with Dawn Shepherd and Ryan Gray the amazing team from Breaking Circus . We had the opportunity to tour inside Cirque du Soleil, and I realized that I had never shared the full story behind this picture.

When I was living in Belarus and preparing to move to Canada, everyone told me, “You’re going to Canada. You have to perform with Cirque du Soleil!”

But I didn’t move to Montreal. I moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia, a place I now love with all my heart and feel deeply grateful to call home. My original plan to go directly to Cirque du Soleil was pushed to the side, but the dream never disappeared.

The truth is, I never applied. Once, I even started the application, but I didn’t submit it. At that time, I had responsibilities and my beloved dog, and I couldn’t imagine leaving her behind.

Whenever I watched a circus show, part of me felt sad because I knew how deeply I still wanted that dream.

But along the way, I discovered another dream: creating something of my own. Today, that dream is becoming real through Sky Entertainment & Studio Halifax . I’m building my own company, producing shows, creating opportunities for other artists, and bringing my ideas to life.

I still believe that one day I will perform with Cirque du Soleil Casting . Maybe that day is closer than I think.

For now, I will keep training, creating, performing, and moving forward. Some dreams take a different road, but that doesn’t mean they are gone. 🎪✨

🎪 Thank you to everyone who came out for Day 1 of Truro Buskerfest!

Join us again tomorrow from 3–9 PM in Civic Square for more amazing buskers and family fun. While you’re here, don’t forget to shop and support Downtown Truro! 🛍️

Proud to be Canadian 🇨🇦

Last year, I had the incredible honour of carrying the Canadian flag at Royal NS International Tattoo It was a powerful and emotional moment that I will always remember.

Canada has become my home, a place where I have been able to grow, dream, create, and build a new chapter of my life. Today, I feel especially grateful and proud to call myself Canadian.

Happy Canada Day! ❤️🤍❤️
