Anna Protsiou

Anna is a dancer and circus artist originally from Thessaloniki, Greece but currently living in Winnipeg, Canada. She graduated from the School of Contemporary Dancers with a BA Honours in Dance. She started training in contortion and hand-balancing five years ago with Samantha Halas, previously a PCA member. ​ Anna has worked with many choreographers from in and out of the province and she recently became an artist in residency at New Dance Horizons in Regina. She has also performed as a circus artist for many gigs and private functions as well as for Frostbite Circus, One Trunk Theatre, Hit and Run Dance Productions in Toronto and more. Her long-term goal is to be able to perform and travel as part of a company. ​ Anna has an R.A.D certification from when she was dancing ballet and loves teaching dance, contortion and hand-balancing. What she enjoys the most about teaching is seeing her students progress and accomplish their goals as well as, learning more about herself through them. ​ Anna loves training and teaching at PCA because of the welcoming environment as well the sense of unity and community within the diversity of the artists involved
