Meet the faces behind All or Nothing, from brilliant performers and tutors to our wonderful riggers and directors.

For our latest All or Nothing Who’s Who, we chatted with the newest member of the core office team; Dana Hall, our company administrator!

How did your aerial journey start?

I was looking for a new hobby and have always been drawn to acrobatics. Gymnastics and artistic swimming were my favourite sports as a kid (not that I did either competitively) and I’ve always loved watching any sort of circus or dance. Aerial felt like a natural thing for me to try!

How did you get involved in All or Nothing?
I was on All or Nothing’s website looking for open training opportunities and ended up finding a job posting instead!

What is your favourite equipment/apparatus/move?
Silks, though I’d also love to get my hands on a hoop or spiral sometime. My move du jour is dizzy princess. It looks super cool and is a great one to build a routine off of. In general though, I love making various kinds of seats and hanging out in the air.

What song do you think would you love to see used in an aerial performance?
This isn’t specific, but I’m always blown away when an artist performs to an upbeat song. It takes a lot of strength and confidence to be able to do that because of the speed and how cleanly you need to hit each beat.
