Laetitia Bodin

A native from France, where she was a competitive gymnast, Laetitia traveled the world for ten years with Cirque du Soleil, including six years with Quidam as an aerialist. After a one-year break due to the birth of her son, she was eager to go back to the circus scene and was part of the creation the show Zed (a Cirque du Soleil production based in Asia), with which she stayed for three years as a Bungee/Hammock and Hand-To-Hand artist.While performing in Japan, she met her husband-to-be, Nick, a Seattle-based rigger for Cirque Du Soleil, and followed him back to Seattle after the completion of her contract in September 2010. She worked again for Cirque Du Soleil in 2011 on their Quidam arena tour in a Hand-To-Hand act. After that she was fortunate to find a partner in Seattle with whom she built a new Hand-To-Hand act and performed regularly in the Seattle area.Now living with her son and her husband in San Francisco, she enjoys passing her knowledge and experience on to her students, teaching circus arts. Her strength resides in her analysis of movements and her attention to details and safety, and in whatever specialty, she strives for teaching each movement to perfection.
