The fact that Alesya Gulevich is a three time Guinness World Record holder, with the most Hula Hoops simultaneously spun at one time, should come as no surprise. Alesya was born into the rich heritage of the Russian circus, the most respected of circus traditions. Her mother is the noted Russian aerialist, Nadezda Bilenko, and her father is the famous clown from Belarus, Fiodor Gulevich. It’s natural that Alesya follows in their footsteps. She left her birthplace in Rostov-on-Don, southern Russia, when she was only one month old to travel on the road with her family. By the time she was five she was already in the act: tumbling, balancing, performing acrobatics and learning the disciplines and skills that would serve her in the years to come. By the time she was twelve she was performing solo with an act created by her father, a comedy bicycle and unicycle performance. At the age of fourteen she created her own act with Hula Hoops, the act for which she has now become famous. Today she is not only one of the most sought after center ring acts in the circus world, but in great demand by cruise lines, corporations, sporting event planners and television. Alesya Gulevich is a true modern circus artist. She has a strong background in dance and choreography, having studied ballet and jazz. She is well versed in all the circus arts from comedy to animals to flying trapeze. Most importantly, that her strong technical skills are her work ethic. Alesya has put countless hours into every show she has worked with and is a real asset to every show she is involved with. Imagine. Sparkling hoops seem to rise from the floor to encircle her as if lifted by unseen hands. Ten hoops around her waist suddenly fly apart until they are evenly spaced from her fingertips to her toes. This unique flourish is performed with such exquisite control that Alesya appears almost motionless, the hoops seeming to have a life of their own. For a stunning finale to this fast paced excitement Alesya becomes completely engulfed in a solid mass of spinning hoops. An amazing demonstration of style, movement and grace, that has earned Alesya a place in The Guinness Book of World Records not once, not twice, but three times. Alesya is now an American citizen and resides in Miami Beach, Florida. |
