Nina Sawant is a multidisciplinary circus artist.

As a child Nina studied dance and visual art and learned to sew from her mother. While studying ballet and modern dance at the University of South Florida, she performed in KaTonga, an African-themed musical at Busch Gardens theme park. While dancing in KaTonga, Nina began training with her first aerial partner, Vitaliy Krymskyi. Together they traveled to Ukraine to further their training with Vitaliy's family and perform together in traveling tent shows.

Since moving to the Bay Area, Nina has performed with many local production companies and contemporary circus ensembles. She is a current member of the Vespertine Circus and Sweet Can Productions and a regular on stage with Misfit Cabaret, The Ruckus and Rumpus Revival, and Circus Center’s Circus Pop Ups. Nina has also toured with several shows including SempreVerde in NYC, the national tour of Peter Pan 360, and Cirque de Boheme at the 2019 Festival d'Avignon.

Nina is a founding member of cirque ensemble The Dahlias. The woman of color led group was formed in 2018 and maintains a roster of top circus talent including world class acrobats, contortionists, and aerialists for performances at upscale events all over California and nationwide.

Nina is available for shows, events, and artistic collaboration.
