Valentina Angelo began her career as a gymnast when she was four years old. Her interest matured towards hip-hop and contemporary dance. Nine years ago, Valentina began training in aerial arts in Italy and in February 2019, she won third place in the Aerial Silk International competition. Ms. Angelo has worked with the “Compagnia dei Folli” as a stilts walker and aerial performer in many different apparati (tissu, lyra, trapeze, and rope). In addition, she has also performed with the Vertical Dance Forum Program in Italy. Most recently, Valentina has been training with “Circus Oz” in Melbourne, Australia, focusing on handstands. Ms. D’Angelo also enjoys horseback riding, swimming and tennis when she is not performing in aerial arts.
