Zera || Circus Arts
Hi, my name is Zera!
I am a movement artist and educator passionate about helping people unlock their fullest & most authentic self expression. With years of experience in dance, circus, and somatics, I help guide others to discovering the innate wisdom of their bodies & finding freedom through movement! In this section of my website, I'd like to shed some light on my background as an artist and my vision and mission as an educator.
My Vision & Mission
My mission is to inspire a world where movement is recognized as medicine—where everyone feels free to express their authentic self and connect through creativity. Through movement arts, education, and performance, I empower individuals to reconnect with their bodies, embrace self-expression, and experience the freedom of authentic movement. By sharing my knowledge through online resources, I strive to make movement an accessible and transformative tool for all.
My Story
For as long as I can remember, my life has always been intertwined with a deep love for movement and expression through the body. I can honestly say that movement was my first love, and I have dedicated my whole life to it.
As a baby, I always wanted to be the center of attention. Dancing and singing and putting on performances for my family
The first sport I ever knew, was martial arts, in which I learned the benefits of humility, discipline, & perseverance. My mom enrolled me in Taekwondo when I was only 5 years old and I spent the majority of my childhood growing up on the mats of the studio. When I turned 10, I began traveling and competing & I ended up winning 5 World Titles over the next years... and although I was very talented, I wasn't completely happy.
When I turned 15, my family gave me the opportunity to make bigger decisions about how I trained & I began to branch out and explore other avenues of athleticism. I started cross training in tricking, which is a mix of acrobatics & martial arts, which eventually lead me to receive a scholarship for a prestigious high school's competitive cheerleading team. I spent the next year contractually involved in a sport that didn't quite feel like me either...
I emancipated myself at 17 & began traveling in search of finding purpose & meaning from this life. I was backpacking for months before I arrived in Thailand, where I first discovered flow arts and fire spinning.
The art form was captivating to watch & even more engaging in its action. This form of movement
