SOLVED. Old YA novel about an acrobat named Tina. Read around early 1980s.

I read a YA novel back in the early 80s (I'm estimating) about a girl named Tina who desperately wanted to be an acrobat / trapeze artist with the circus. She does get a chance and travels and trains with a circus. I can't remember any more details but I would love to find it again.
