Jessica

Jessica Lindsay trained and performed ballet, modern, and jazz dance with the Nashville Ballet for six years until she came across a new kind of performance that sparked a flame within her. She was very intrigued, and soon became addicted to this thrilling and beautiful art of aerial dance. Jessica Lindsay has been fortunate to train under many talented and respected acrobats such as world-class aerialist's, Eric Newton (Cirque du Soleil - "Quidam"), Sagiv Ben Binyamin (Universal Studio's - "Spiderman Rocks", Cirque de la Mer), and international gymnast, Stella Umeh (Cirque du Soleil - "Mystere", "Varekai").

After much dedication and training, Jessica Lindsay had a vision of creating an avant-garde aerial company that would push the boundaries of entertainment. In 2005, this vision became a reality known as the Aerial Showgirls. They opened their first company performance on Halloween of 2005 in Orange County at the Galaxy Concert Theatre. Since then, Jessica and the Aerial Showgirls have had the pleasure of performing at some of the most popular clubs, venues, and events around the country.

Jessica wanted to share her aerial knowledge with others. So in early 2006, she opened the Aerial Classroom in Orange County, where she currently still teaches classes. Recently, Jessica was invited to take over the aerial program at LA Gymnastics in Culver City, CA as the head aerial coach. She's even had the pleasure of training superstar Carmen Electra on aerial hoop. In April of 2006, and March of 2007, Jessica was invited to choreograph and perform aerials with Electra and the burlesque group of dancers, the Bombshell Babies, in Palm Springs. Jessica's favorite quote is, "Give me somewhere to stand, and I will move the earth." Although, it might need to be revised to, "Give me somewhere to fly..."

Elizabeth

Elizabeth has been interested in running away to join the circus ever since she was a child. Aerial Acrobatics is her way of fulfilling that dream.

Whether it's in an airplane, a tree, or sitting on a tall friend's shoulders, she always loves to be up high in the air. Imagine her delight in discovering Spanish web, Aerial Lyra, Stationary and Flying Trapeze, Aerial Tissue and Stilts! When it comes to soaring through the air, she can't wait to see what else is out there waiting to be explored.

Her current favorite is the Spanish web for its fun spinning dynamic. She also loves the added element of thrill that performing a doubles, triples, or quadruples routine can have.

Elizabeth's natural creativity and readiness to try anything comes in handy when choreographing routines and coming up with surprising new moves.

She has trained extensively at The Aerial Classroom under the tutelage of Jessica Lindsay, and has always been active with a background in; gymnastics, ballet, theater, and various sports including horseback riding, swimming and ice hockey. She is ecstatic to have been asked to be part of the Aerial Showgirls, a dream of hers since starting lessons.

When she isn't performing, she enjoys teaching gymnastics to children, and doing special effects makeup for movies, for which she has earned two certificates after graduating from the Joe Blasco Makeup Center in Hollywood. She is also busy learning to unicycle!

Elizabeth is glad to finally find a calling that allows her to utilize the strengths of all of her artistic skills at once.
