Caiya Velasco-Teters is a 24 y/o Houston native, seasoned choreographer and performer. She holds over 100+ performances under her belt as a dancer & circus artist and has produced 3 full length productions featuring contemporary and aerial arts disciplines. Caiya’s training dates back to age 3 when she began training Classical Ballet. She then went on to train in many other dance disciplines along with circus arts. With an emphasis on dance her whole life, she decided she wanted to pursue circus at the age of 16 hoping to create original productions that incorporated both dance and circus arts. After gaining knowledge and training in circus, it was time for her to set her dream of creating productions in motion; so she started Cai Circus. She did this not only help build the circus community in Houston, but to also bring both the Dance Industry and Circus Industry together, being an example of mixing performing arts disciplines to create something new and creative here in Houston.
