Hi there! I’m Grace Good– a self-taught American circus performer who specializes in hula hoops, fire performance stunts, and aerial acrobatics…and I love to combine them all together into one performance.. if you’re here you might know that already!
I didn’t grow up in a circus ring! I started my career in downtown Nashville, street‑performing on a whim and falling hard for the adrenaline rush of fire, hoops, and flight. Fast forward a few years, a fierce obsession, and zero background in gymnastics or dance—just pure, unfiltered passion—and I turned that spark into a full‑time career that now stretches from Nashville to Vegas… and pretty much every halftime show, festival, and festival-worthy moment in between!
I’m a two‑time Guinness World Record holder, America’s Got Talent alum (thanks, AGT Season 18!), and arena‑level halftime headliner—you’ve seen me light up NBA courts, NASCAR stages, and even your screen. I blend “danger meets elegance” with a theatrical flair that leaves audiences breathless.
Beyond the performance, I founded Goodness Gracious Creative, bringing bespoke cirque energy—from superstar arena halftimes to intimate celebrity soirées—powered by my small but fearless creative crew.
So whether I’m spinning fire under arena lights, floating through the air in a hoop, or introducing the art of performance to folks who’ve never seen anything like it—you’ll catch the same thing every time: me chasing the next thrill, lighting up a crowd, and reminding everyone that circus art is alive, electric, and unapologetically bold!
FAQ with Grace
For Fans 💜
Q: How did you get started in circus arts?
I saw a video of Lisa Lottie on Tumblr (yeah.. that might tell my age) and I was mesmerized! I immediately bought a hula hoop and went straight to Youtube tutorials. I was in college at the time and found a hoop troupe on campus! I became totally obsessed with hoops and fell down the rabbit hole of circus from there. I help found the circus program at the Nashville Circus Center, where I could train all da everyday! Then, I started street performing in downtown Nashville with hoops and fire, then fell in love with circus arts and built my career one performance at a time.
Q: What’s the craziest show you’ve ever done?
This one is always so hard because there are SO many good ones. My biggest show was Stadium of Fire—performing in front of 60,000 people live! My most nerve-wracking (but epic) show was the Semi-Finals of America’s Got Talent… literally nothing prepares you for the feeling of performing live on TV to millions of people. And one of my favorite “craziest” moments was taking the stage at the NBA Finals… what a rush!
Q: Do you ever get burned?
Of course! Playing with fire means you will get burnt. Over the years I’ve had some minor burns. I still get tiny ones, yes (like kitchen burns), but safety is everything for me. I’ve never had a third-degree burn, and I train constantly to keep it that way.
Q: What do you do when you’re not performing?
I’m usually outdoors—camping, hiking, or biking—reading romantasy novels (the Throne of Glass series will forever be my favorite!), spending time with friends and family, and traveling to new places. I still have so many destinations on my international bucket list!
Q: Can I learn to do what you do?
Absolutely! Circus arts are for everyone. I always encourage people to take classes, start small, and remember that I had no dance or gymnastics background when I began. Look into your local circus or aerial arts studio to get started!
For Clients 🎭
Q: What types of events do you perform at?
From halftime shows and corporate galas to private parties, festivals, and celebrity events—I love tailoring performances to fit the vibe and vision of each event.
Q: Do you only perform solo, or can you provide a whole entertainment package?
Both! I perform solo acts but I also run Goodness Gracious Creative, my entertainment company. We provide everything from aerialists and fire dancers to immersive characters and themed ensembles.
Q: How long is a typical performance?
It depends on the act and event. Some are 5-10 minute stage spectacles, others are roaming sets spread across an evening. I work with each client to customize timing and flow.
Q: What do venues need to provide?
Each act has its own tech requirements (rigging points, stage space, safety clearances, etc.), but I’ll send a full rider in advance so you know exactly what’s needed.
Q: Is it safe to have fire at my event?
Yes—safety is my number one priority. I carry fire insurance, follow strict protocols, work with local fire marshals, and travel with a trained fire safety assistant for every show.
Q: How do I book you?
