Arkansas Circus Arts would like to welcome Natalie “McFancy” Wise to our team of instructors and performers! Natalie comes to us from Brooklyn, New York where she worked as a freelance circus performer, but she is originally from Pine Bluff, Arkansas. You may have seen some of Natalie’s work recently as a fire stunt performer in “The Greatest Showman” starring Hugh Jackman! Natalie has also performed in nationally televised events such as the NYC Marathon and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Natalie is a multi-talented performer specializing in hula hoop, juggling, trapeze, and stilt-walking. She holds a BFA in Dance and Choreography from The University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory of Dance and has over 20 years experience in teaching dance, circus, and theatre. Natalie is also an experienced seamstress, who loves designing and creating epic costumes for circus performances.
“I’m grateful and excited to be a part of the excellent team here at Arkansas Circus Arts!” says Natalie. “It’s a joy to share my favorite things with the community in my home state.”
Natalie teaches select Kinder Cirque, Jr. Flyers, and Elite youth classes. She also teaches flow arts and flexibility and contortion for adults on Sundays. Contact our front desk at (501) 725-4975 or info@arcircus.com to enroll in one of Natalie’s classes!
