Ysabella represents eight generations of circus history. Ysabella started going in the ring as soon as she could walk. The first time she swung on the flying trapeze, she was only 18 months old, and has been at it ever since. She is currently practicing contortions and putting together her own hula-hoop act as well as working with her aunt AURELIA WALLENDA on the cloudswing, her grandmother, OLINKA, in the family dog act, and her grandfather, TINO, clowning around. Ysabella recently made her debut performing up on the high-wire, crossing on the shoulders of her uncle, ALEX WALLENDA. She also likes to “play” on all the fun circus equipment, but says she’ll start “Practicing when I get bigger…then I can fly across to daddy and do the triple somersault!” The dreams of a seven year old… Only time will tell!
