Clowning

Being a fairy

Twirling firesticks with my feet

Hi,

My name is Tanya and I am a circus performer from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. I specialise in fire (fire breathing and twirling fire staffs- with my feet), contortion and hula hoops (I do 40 at the same time). When Im not being a carnie haha I spend my time as a children entertainer- performing as a clown, fairy, pirate, jester and a big giant cuddly white bear. I have taught children's gymnastics most of my life and now run a circus school teaching aerial and ground based circus skills. I LOVE my job and everything about it and thank all of you parents for having such cool kids that I can play with and perform for :)

I am also studying psychology so that I can work with children who need some understanding and advice to help grow into the wonderful people that they all have the potential to be.

I have two beautiful nieces under the age of 3 and love them more than anything.

I'll put up some pictures soon :) Nice to meet you all!
