Danya's BIO:

​

Danya Xena is a full-time travelling acro teacher who creates supportive, safe, collaborative and fun learning environments.  With a focus on dynamic acrobatics she encourages everyone’s inner Super Heroes by offering a community feeling with great progressions and awesome spotting.   As a mid-weight acrobat she is both a base and a flyer, and as such, has a great understanding of both sides of the practice.

Danya co-founded the Acro SuperHeroes and the Canadian Acro Intensive, founded the SuperHero Circus Academy, FemPower Acro and has taught in over 100 communities.  Danya brings with her a career in adult education, coaching and facilitation, a deep passion for social justice, and a Masters degree in Diversity Studies with a focus on pedagogy (the art and science of teaching). Danya is certified as both a Partner Acrobatics and Acro Revolution Teacher and attended 10 weeks of Pitch Catch Circus in 2016, consults with Pitch Catch Circus and runs the Acro and Social Justice Teacher Training program.
