The iconic act shared their journey after coming from a generation of performers.

“You know for a circus performer, it’s like in our blood,” said Noelia Poema. “When we were little, we started doing our exercises and then join whatever the family act is. So, she grew up at Circus Circus, my three pregnancies I did it while working here at Circus Circus, working till after like 4 months of pregnancy, then got back after like a month and then they started practicing here at Circus Circus.”
