Samantha Mixan was born and raised barefoot, on a small family farm in rural Nebraska. She began dancing as a small, timid child at a local dance school in the basement of her teacher’s home. During her elementary years, she found focus in competitive gymnastics; learning passion, showmanship, and perseverance. Her mother drove her 45 minutes just one-way to practice gymnastics many times each week. She competed in countless meets, scoring high and even placing second at a national championship. In high school, Samantha was a varsity cheerleader for four years; cultivating athleticism, spirit, and teamwork. Her love for cheer never faded, as she has been teaching tumbling, flexibility, and cheerleading at Elite Cheer in Omaha, NE for the past seven years. Her alternative lifestyle and passion for ecstatic hoop dance led her to many performance opportunities; the most notable being professional international travel to India in 2010. In India, with the guidance of a mentor, she discovered circus arts and began training contortion and yoga. In 2012, she was discovered by Quixotic and began working with the company as a lead fire dancer. She has since performed in many shows, festivals, and productions since that time.

Samantha is fascinated by people and the limits of consciousness. She studied psychology and sociology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, graduating with her bachelor’s degree in 2013. Samantha continues her journey through training, performing, teaching, discovery, travel, and authentic kindness.
