The magic of Aerial Dragons Studios began in a small backyard called “The Keep” where curious, creative souls would get lost in the world of circus. Jessica King, a third-generation circus performer, and Kaley Gay Eckersdorff, a lifelong dancer and devout yogi, founded Aerial Dragons Studios and Aerial Dragons Entertainment in 2014 with big dreams that brought their passions to life. The name “Aerial Dragons” was inspired by Jessica’s childhood adoration of fantasy books and dragon collecting. Jessica and Kaley’s greatest aspirations were to build a community and safe space where magic unfolds, worries drift away, play is encouraged, and expression blossoms.

Aerial Dragons Studios continues to flourish as a dream come true, welcoming new friends daily to join the circus, discover freedom in movement, and become enchanted by aerial artistry. Our mission is to empower, educate, and elevate. At our studio, we consistently offer new opportunities for all to enjoy circus arts with an ever-growing collection of aerial apparatuses, courses, workshops, classes, and performances. When you come to the Dragon’s Den, the possibilities are endless.
