Masha Dimitri was only 6 when she made her first appearance in the ring with the Knie Circus in Switzerland. After studying in Hungary at the Budapest Circus School until 1981, she returned to Switzerland and soon graduated from the Dimitri Theater School, where she studied wire-walking with Szilard Szekely. Masha subsequently worked with the Pickle Family Circus of San Francisco and the Gruss French National Circus in Paris. Perfect balance and balletic grace characterize Masha's use of her preferred instrument, the slack wire. Her act is a wonderful complement to the tango number danced by the whole troupe. [This artist has the dubious honor of having a complete Cirque song written and titled for her -- "Masha"]
