From flower crowns to flying high ✨
As Madison prepares to graduate, we’re celebrating an incredible journey of growth, dedication, and achievement.
What began as a young girl with big dreams has blossomed into a remarkable young woman whose favorite apparatus, Lyra, has taken her to the professional competition stage. This year, she embraced new challenges by performing in her first group act at Viva Fest, showcasing the teamwork, artistry, and trust that make aerial so special.
When she’s not teaching or training at Dragonfly Aerial Company, Madison is excelling in another arena entirely. As a standout competitor in the STOA Christian Homeschool Speech & Debate League, she has built an impressive record from 2023-2026 in Lincoln-Douglas Debate, Parliamentary Debate, Apologetics, Impromptu, and more. Most recently, she competed at the National Invitational Tournament of Champions (NITOC) in Lincoln-Douglas Debate, representing years of hard work, preparation, and excellence.
While graduation marks the end of one chapter, Madison’s story at Dragonfly is far from over. She will continue teaching and inspiring the next generation of aerialists, and this fall, audiences will see her in a whole new role as she takes the stage as Peter in our October production of Narnia.
Whether soaring in the air, commanding a debate round, mentoring students, or stepping into the spotlight on stage, Madison approaches every challenge with determination, grace, and heart.
We are incredibly proud of all she has accomplished and cannot wait to see what comes next.
Congratulations, Madison! 🎓💜🪽

✨ From little girl with big dreams to soaring toward the skies. ✨
Today, we celebrate Kate — a remarkable young woman who graduated 8th in her class from Liberty High School and is headed to CU Boulder to study Aerospace Engineering. 🚀
Kate has always reached higher, pushed farther, and embraced every challenge with determination, curiosity, and grace. We couldn’t be more proud of all she has accomplished and all that lies ahead.
As part of the Dragonfly family, Kate has inspired us with her dedication, strength, and willingness to take flight—both in the air and in life. Watching her grow from a young Dragonfly into the incredible person she is today has been a privilege.
Congratulations, Kate! Your future is as limitless as the sky, and we can’t wait to see where your journey takes you next.
💜 Once a Dragonfly, always a Dragonfly. 💜

From baby muscles to aerial strength and grace 💪✨
For almost 6 years, Allyson has poured her heart into silks — her favorite apparatus — and for the last 2+ years she’s shared that passion by teaching others. This year she added duo trapeze to her growing list of accomplishments, continuing to challenge herself and grow as an artist.
Dragonfly has become her second home, a place where lifelong friendships, confidence, and unforgettable memories were built. ❤️
Beyond the studio, Allyson graduated with high honors from Liberty High School and will be attending UCCS this fall as she begins pursuing a future in the medical field.
Watching her grow from that strong little baby to the incredible young woman she is today has been such a gift. We can’t wait to see where life takes her next. 🩺🎓🦋 #DragonflyAerial #AerialSilks #SeniorSpotlight #UCCS #ClassOf2025

🎓✨ From bubbly bath-time smiles to soaring through the air, watching Lexi grow has been such a beautiful journey. ✨🎓
Today we celebrate Lexi’s graduation from Lewis-Palmer High School! Over the years, she has been an incredible part of the Dragonfly Aerial Community — as a performer, competitor, and coach — inspiring everyone around her with her talent, determination, and kindness.
Now she’s beginning an exciting new chapter as she pursues her dream of becoming an ASL interpreter. We know she’ll continue to make a difference everywhere she goes.
Congratulations, Lexi! We are so proud of the amazing person you’ve become and can’t wait to see you fly even higher. 💛🪽
