About Us
Welcome to Bravo Circus Studio & Entertainment – Calgary!
Since 2014, we are excited to offer a wide range of classes – including acrobatics, circus arts, dance, hula hoops and poi– for boys and girls from the age of 3 to adults. If you are looking for a different type of fitness workout, we teach cardio/dance and stretching classes too! Our aim is to share our love of circus performing arts while helping you get fit and toned in a fun, supportive environment, no matter your age, experience, or physical ability. We strongly believe, there’s a class at our Studio for everyone!
About the owner
My name is Maria Chekmareva, I’m a professional aerialist, hula-hoop artist, and circus performer. Since 2014, I have been teaching circus and performing arts to children and adults in Calgary. Before making Calgary my home, I have traveled across Europe, Asia and North America with the Circus on Ice troupe for over six years!
I choreograph my own shows and perform in numerous events and creative projects across Alberta. My passion for creative arts and dance has brought me to join the Calgary-based Vizard theatrical and dance show as a dancer and a hula-hoop artist. I am proud to be a part of this non-profit organization and see it grow and make a difference in the Calgary community!
My students range from the age of 3 to 60. I blend together my love of circus and background in acrobatics, aerial arts, theatrical dance, modern dance and gymnastics to keep my classes exciting for students of all ages and abilities. In the classroom, I strive to create a stimulating environment where you feel comfortable exploring the world of circus arts and expressing yourself – while challenging your body. I am looking forward to teaching and performing along with all the talented students that come through Bravo Circus Studio!
