Shane Minerich
Determined, Energetic, Positive, and Adaptable. These are all words that describe Shane Minerich. Shane has been performing for as long as he can remember. Shane was a theatrical performer from when he could walk and talk. All his life people asked him what he would do when he grew up and he never had an answer hearing from the world that entertainment was such a competitive field. However, when the time came he told everyone he would prove them wrong. He went off to join a gym in California called San Diego Circus Center. After that, he joined the circus community as a Chinese-Pole soloist in his first professional production called Pirates Voyage. During this production, Shane learned many more disciplines and was selected to help with the creation of the show at a new location. From there Shane decided that he wanted more professional education in how far his career could take him, so he joined Ecole de cirque de Quebec's DEE program. Shane has now finished his schooling and has begun his work strong and determined to prove himself.
