Kira

Coach Kira moved to Salt Spring Island about 12 years ago after spending 20 years in Vancouver as a professional performer, instructor, choreographer, and creator of circus and dance productions. During that time, she founded and directed her own professional performance troupe, creating productions for festivals, community and corporate events, and international celebrations, including the Olympic Games in Greece,  Italy, and Canada.

At SSCG, Kira coaches both circus and gymnastics while also providing expertise in aerial rigging and safety. She is passionate about helping students build strong technical foundations and body awareness while encouraging creativity, confidence, and self-expression. Kira loves seeing students surprise themselves with what they're capable of and believes learning should always be both challenging and fun.
