Performing and directing run for four generations in Dagney’s family, beginning with her grandmother, and continuing with her father, brother, and daughter. Through them, and through years of her own practice, she learned the value of helping others create and share works of beauty, grace, humor, and love. Communities can experience powerful healing and strengthening through all forms of art, and Dagney has a passion for working with other circus performers to bring their own unique art to the larger community.

Happy Memories from our STUDENTS
Our extensive expertise will make sure that you have your own Circus Successes!
Strewn with glitter and sweat, friendship and strength, Voler is a welcoming second home. It is a place to test your limits and surpass them, to get strong, flexible and make profound connections with people you might never meet otherwise. I am stronger than I have ever been in every sense of the word and I credit Voler with so much of that. It is so much more than circus, and fitness, I have never laughed more in one geographical location than at Voler!!!
Karen Snyder
I started at Voler Aerial Academy 3 years ago with a dream to perform. I want to make people forget about life for a little bit. I love Voler because the teachers have educated me so I can fly with confidence. Each time I learn something new and challenging. With the support of my class mates and teachers I know I can do anything.
