Dragronfly Aerial Arts and One World Circus have been visiting the Community Law Office outreach program for over four years now. Every time Jake and Lissa visit the CLO we are transported to another world where anything is possible! Where else could you walk on stilts or fly on an aerial trapeze? It’s one thing to go see a circus, but entirely different to interact and be part of a circus. What Dragonfly offers is so unique and empowering. The students always have a fantastic time!
