About The Artist
Darielle’s passion for performing germinated when she was a little girl in Trinidad and Tobago where she was born and raised. She grew up doing swimming and gymnastics, and later in her teenage years, she started carving out a path toward becoming a dancer at Caribbean School of Dancing. Staying true to course, she attended Florida International University in Miami where she received her BA in Dance while minoring in Entrepreneurship and receiving a certificate in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. For a few years she danced with Guggenheim recipient Brazz Dance Theater, Binti Ensemble, AfroConTempo Dance Company and Animate Objects Physical Theater. The latter company introduced her to circus arts and there she got her start learning aerial, fire dancing and stilt walking. A couple years into learning this artform, Darielle discovered pole dancing and made the transition to full time instructing and performing aerial and pole.
In 2019, Darielle performed at the MTV Video Music Awards with Video Vanguard Award recipient Missy Elliot and The Little Mermaid Live on ABC, which can now be viewed on Disney Plus.
