Martika Daniels
Born into a military family, Martika began traveling the world at a young age. This exposure to international performers sparked her interest in the circus arts, and at the age of 8 she ignited her passion for the performing arts through training in jazz dance and classical ballet. Her passion for dance flourished when she discovered hula hooping.
Constantly looking to push herself, in 2008 Martika sought out the best international teachers in fire arts, escapology, and sideshow danger stunts to further her knowledge. Along her path to being an entertainer Martika also went to one of the top community colleges in Kansas, Johnson County Community College, to acquire her veterinary technician degree. She no longer works as a parasitologist in a corporate laboratory. She is Kansas City’s only women sword swallower and the only one woman stunt show of her kind in the Midwest.
