Danielle Ricciardi

This lifelong passion for movement began at the age of 5 when I turned my first cartwheel. I was addicted. Since then, my life has revolved around the acrobatic, scientific, and artistic elements of training and movement. I began with gymnastics, later coached, completed my BA in exercise science from Smith College, then ran away with Cirque du Soleil.  As my career progresses, I only fall more deeply in love with the art of movement, uncovering layers upon layers. There is always something new to discover, always a new challenge to surmount.
