Danilo Pacheco

Danilo had his first contact with the circus during high school, which led him to pursue his studies in Europe. He took aerial classes for a year and a half at Hangar Arts Trust in London and received a scholarship from the Brazilian government for a two-year course at FLIC Scuola di Circo in Turin, Italy. Finally, he completed his training at the Centre National des Arts du Cirque in Chalons-en-Champagne, France.

Professionally, he worked for two years with the renowned NoFit State Circus (Cardiff, Wales), performing across Europe, New York, and Hong Kong. He participated in major events such as the Prague PlayOffs, a Tommy Hilfiger runway show at London Fashion Week, and the opening of the Paris 2024 Olympics. Currently, he performs in cabarets in Paris and worldwide with the French company Gratte Ciel (Arles, France).

In addition to being an artist, Danilo has taught workshops in cities like São Paulo, Buenos Aires, London, Tel Aviv, Naples, Milan, New York, Paris, and Jaipur. In 2018/2019, he was part of the faculty at the European Aerial Dance Festival and taught for three years at ACAPA (Academy of Circus and Performance Art) in Tilburg, Netherlands.
