From the age of five to fifteen Claire trained as a top level competitive gymnast where her natural flexibility and elegance was often remarked upon.

She then pursued her interest in music playing both flute and harp to a high standard and obtained a degree in the subject. However the opportunity to return to sport presented itself when Claire successfully auditioned for the main aerial show in the Millennium Dome.

Since then Claire has performed her aerial and acrobatic work all over the world.
