Our mission
Fancy Nancy and the Lucy Loop focus on the emotional development of the young mind and the rich expression of fully being your silly self. We are a band of Educators, Clowns, Musicians & Performers whose mission is to provide a toolset for the next generation of movers and groovers to stand proud on their own two feet - to feel confident in their own unique self. To welcome and include others to do the same, to see the world through color, and musical sound. Feel close to our earth and empathy for our fellow man. Cheers to the arts, and the universal community it creates.
Meet the Team
Nancy Ross has been performing in plays and musicals since before she knew how to read and feels very honored to have turned her life long passion into her profession. She graduated from the University of Oklahoma where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre. She started teaching in high school when she served as music director for a community theatre production of Annie. The company of actors was made up entirely of individuals with a wide spectrum of physical and mental disabilities. In College, aside from appearing in many of the University’s musicals, Nancy taught private piano, was the lead vocalist in a local Jazz combo - The Furlough Sextet - and taught Jazz Dance to adults with Down Syndrome. Since moving to San Diego in 2016, Nancy has worked as an educator of the performing arts in conjunction to being a professional actor in the area. She is currently a teaching-artist at Kalabash School of Music + the Arts where she instructs voice lessons to private students of all ages and directs handmade musical theatre productions for kids. Nancy also runs her own preschool dance program - Movers & Groovers - and is the co-creator of Lucy Loop’s Journey through the Land of Lost Things. She also performs in an 8 piece, all female Kate Bush tribute act - Baby Bushka.

Lucy Ray
When Lucy was four she declared she was going to be a clown and ever since then she has been following that path. Dedicated to the art of ridiculousness she spends her time with rubber chickens and sock puppets. Some of her colorful antics include falling in love with a giant fish, juggling everything in sight, sending love notes on fishing poles, stilt walking into your heart, dancing like a noodle and being an all around spaz muffin. Lucy has completed a BA with a focus in Social Justice through Performance Art at the Evergreen State College. She performs with a social circus in Thailand called “Spark Circus” as well as her original performance/music project called “Many A Moon.” She has worked with the artist collectives “Animal Cracker Conspiracy” and “Bad Unkl Sista” at Symbiosis and LIB Music Festival, Dragon Nights Stilt walking at EDC, as well as performed with “Many A Moon” at Lookout Arts Quarry, Sha’Bang, the House of Blues, Hard Rock and is a contracted performer at many other venues. She has taught circus arts for social justice at camps for inner city kids, rural Costa Rica and Thailand, juvenile detention centers and in hospitals. Lucy, with her kelidoscope eyes, is always searching to sparkle the mundane and bring out the inner child in everybody!
