Gia’s love of performance began at the age of 5 with classical ballet and was fine-tuned all the way up through college adding several other styles of dance and movement to her repertoire. Her performance took a more thrilling turn when she joined another circus in 2016 as Ringmaster of their traveling show until 2024 to start up QCSC.
