Joseane Martins Costa

Learn from someone who’s lived the journey.

Hi, I’m Joseane Martins.

From representing Brazil in synchronized swimming to performing with Dragone’s House of Dancing Water and Cirque du Soleil, I’ve spent over a decade training and performing at the highest level of the entertainment industry.

Throughout that journey, I learned that becoming a great performer isn’t just about mastering skills, it’s about building the physical foundation to perform consistently, adapt to new challenges, and be ready when opportunity comes.

I created Cirquenastics to share the training principles that have supported my own career and help performers develop the strength, endurance, mobility, and confidence required for long-term success on stage.

Whether you’re preparing for your first audition or already performing professionally, my goal is simple:

To help performers stay performance ready so they’re prepared when opportunity comes.
