June 16, 2022beautiful performances, aerial cube & Lyra
Nina performed in two at my event, as part of a larger Dahlias engagement. For her first performance we had originally schedule aerial silks, but it was pretty windy so she took out the aerial cube. I was a little nervous hearing that she'd picked it up just a week before, but her performance was artistic, athletic and beautifully choreographed. The second performance was a duo Lyra with Christine, the "transformation" act in Nina's gig salad ad, but starting out in cocoons, which made a perfect finale act in a 45-minute show.

June 8, 2012She can twirl!
Nina is extremely talented & her performances are breathtaking! Panning the room while she does her magic in the air, one will find that most everyone's jaw is dropped in amazement.
She's a genuine sweetheart as well and captivates her audience in the air with her tricks as well as on the ground with her smile and personality.

Extremely beautiful and terrifying at the same time. You must look but sometimes want to look away. Loved, loved, loved it.

I hired an artist but an Angel showed up instead. I was pleased with the show Nina put on that I feel like I under payed her. She was spectacular and hiring her only made me look good in front of all my A list guests. She is a sweet heart on top of it. Can't wait till another Bar Mitzvah
