and there she met Milla Peijari with whom she is working now as Duo Minja (Acrobatic Duo Contortion

& Aerial Double Hoop). In 2012 Duo Minja took part in ”Finland’s Got Talent” and they were selected

all the way to the Finals. Since then Pinja has been performing professionally for example in

Germany’s biggest Variety GOP Variety-Theater and in many big shows and productions with

Phoenix Fire Dancers, for example in USA, Brazil, Turkey and in G20- meeting in Russia.

Also in 2016 Duo Minja was selected to be part of the European Youth Circus Festival in Wiesbaden.
