Jess wears a crown made of a steel bar and two ropes.  That’s right, she’s the trapeze queen!  She has skillfully transferred years of gymnastic and ballet training to this apparatus and regularly performs moves that inspire awe.  She channels much of that awe into being an awesome instructor, successfully leading students beyond their fears and doubts and into trapeze glory.    Jess is well-versed in solo as well as duo trapeze, and often performs with her “fly or die” partner Cortney Chyme.  She has trained with many top-notch aerialists including Shannon Gray, Karen Fulmar, Jenn Bruyer, Megan Gendell, and Kirsten Edwards.  Besides upholding her royal duties, she is a registered dietitian who loves vegetables, Celine Dion, and anything punny.  You can read more about Jess on her page https://www.facebook.com/JessBennettLives/

 

Molly

Molly is a fan of all things aerial. She especially loves the beautiful patterns and techniques you find in her two focuses trapeze and aerial rope. She comes from a strong gymnastics background but switched to aerial in 2016 because she found the amazing community that BAD has to offer. She has always loved to fly and can’t wait to share that love with anyone she can. If she’s not at the aerial studio you’ll find her cuddled up with her cat and either her latest craft project or a sudoku puzzle, which she swears are the key to understanding all her aerial puzzles!
