Circus Goddess - Lee O’
Gotta love this Word Press BLOG software thingy for being such an easy way to add content to the web.
Lee Loo (Bea’s God Mother) is awesome and we want to shout it to the roof tops. So when she is an (even more) famous we can say.. yeaahh, we knew her before all that.
Heee heeee.
And just incase you are on the East Coast of Australia and are looking for a truly “wick)ed” Circus Teacher or stunt woman for that matter - without further ado, we present… Lee Loo
It’s been quite an exciting ride knowing this bird… (like the time she got me to jump 14,000 feet out of a plane maybe)
And just incase you have come here through early learning links, might I say that every ELC needs circus “curriculum”. It’s the best.

LEE O’SHAUGHNESSY
CIRCUS TEACHER EXTRAORDINAIRE
From the first moment we entered her ‘classroom’, we felt blessed. My daughter Bea was only 2 years old.
Lee created a safe, nurturing and exciting environment in which the children could challenge themselves physically, emotionally and socially. Indeed, so could the parents!
Her unique, loving nature helped create an environment where new relationships and capabilities flourished.
Technically, Lee is very competent. The children could learn solid circus and gymnastic skills from her. They were thrilled and delighted by the some of the more advanced and daring tricks she could pull off. But it was not just that that set her apart.
The thought and creativity that Lee shared with us meant we were all expanded by the fun and joy of what we experienced. Whether it was the books she made herself and brought in, or the animal yoga warm up exercises – Lee was always looking for new ways to engage and inspire us.
During the two-and-a-half years we watched Lee build up the WA Circus School’s preschool class from scratch to three sessions a week at its peak, we witnessed love in action. She’s a natural. And anyone that has a chance to learn with her is very lucky indeed.
Anyone that has the chance to employ her is also very lucky indeed. Lee gave so much to the Circus through community events, performances, fundraisers, planning and management.
She will be missed by all of us, greatly.
We wish her all the best.
Sincerely
Libby Davy
