WORK WITH ME

Gelsey Laurie is originally from Riverside, California, where she grew up deeply immersed in the dance world. She began performing in professional ballets as a child and landed her first job at 16 dancing at Disneyland. Around that time, she discovered aerial arts — a passion that would launch her into a global performing career.

After years of dedicated training, Gelsey moved to New York City to pursue her Broadway dreams, eventually joining Celebrity Cruises to open their newest ship, The Reflection. From there, she toured North America and Singapore with the Broadway hit Rock of Ages, performed her aerial solo act across Vegas and Germany, and took part in a new creation with Cirque Éloize in Montreal. In 2016, she joined Cirque du Soleil’s resident Las Vegas show LOVE as the aerial straps soloist, performing to The Beatles for three incredible years.

After Las Vegas, Gelsey pivoted into stunt work in Hollywood, notably opening Avengers Campus at Disneyland as Black Widow in their live-action stunt show.

Today, Gelsey works as a content creator, model, and social media strategist, partnering with brands across lifestyle, beauty, and entertainment. She creates digital content, manages accounts, and consults on brand storytelling. She also co-hosts the weekly YouTube show Anchor Watch, covering Below Deck with humor and insider perspective, and shares industry insights on her own channel Inside the Performer’s Life, helping artists navigate life on and off the stage.
