There was a circus show on television when Becca was young that had lions, ringmasters, and flying trapeze. She danced through childhood, but the circus was still on her mind. It was only some 2 decades later that she started learning, and decided she needed to fulfill her curiosity, and ran off to circus school for a year. Tonight, she hopes you enjoy a night to remember with her vivacious chair performance.
