Dakota has been working at Renaissance Festivals around the county for 30 years, performing whip stunts and knife throwing since the age of 7. She has been featured on the Ellen Show, America’s Funniest Home Vidoes, and America’s Got Talent. She has also set two Guinness World Records.
Dakota started her nylon whip making business, DaKitty Whips, in 2013.
Originally offering only lightweight bullwhips before moving on to specialize in the ever popular performance hybrid and of course fire whips.
Fun facts:
-She can make a performance hybrid start to finish in less than 2 hours. (If the wax is already melted)
-She was the first person to market a budget version of a Performance Hybrid in 2017.
-She has made over 1,500 whips since starting my business.
-Her whips are being used in at least 15 Renaissance Festival shows, were featured in Cirque De Soleil’s Zumanity, and will be used in an upcoming broadway show.
