Brande Lee performing at Sea World, San Diego
Brande Lee has been studying and performing circus/aerial arts since 2009. She specializes in aerial lyra, silks, hammock, pole, and hoop dance.
Brande began her aerial training with Orange County Aerial Arts (OCAA)/ Ruby Karen Project and is an alumni of their 2009-2010 apprentice program. She performed in OCAA’s “Airborne” and “Nightmare on Air” and still trains and performs with them to this day. Brande furthered her professional training at the New England Center for Circus Arts (NECCA) in their 2013-2014 Intensive Training Program.
Over the past five years Brande has performed with her company, Elevated Aerial Dance, VIP Woman’s Dance, Wire Monkey Dance, SHOW Circus, and currently, she is performing as an aerialist in the 2014 Cirque de la Mer show at Sea World, San Diego.
Brande has plans to compete in the 2014 West Coast Aerial Arts Festival in the professional division this coming November. She is so excited to be a part of this event and to work with such talented artists from various areas around the country.

RKP Success Story
A little over 1 year ago she decided to get off her couch and get serious about her fitness and nutrition program. So she joined our apprentice program. She recently got measured for our upcoming production of Alice: Flight to Fantasy. She was surprised to find that since her last fitting for our Mortars production, she has lost 4 inches around her waist, bust, and thighs. She has also lost 30 lbs.
Edie also shared with me that she did receive a 3rd place medal in our WCAAF. She does miss her sofa, but loves her results more.
It’s Never too Late to Start Something New…!
Edie has been with the Ruby Karen Project for 4 years. She decided her desk job as a Financial Analyst wasn’t giving her the activity she needed to maintain a mobile lifestyle well into her retirement years.
Because she has a background in fine arts, she knew she wanted to do something different. Aerial arts seemed like the right fit to fulfill her
creative and curious nature. It took 3 years of conditioning with the school before she was ready to compete on the silks in her age division at the first annual West Coast Aerial Arts Festival this past November. Edie was an inspiration to the young aspiring aerial artist at the festival as they all wanted her autograph in their program. She may not have won a medal in the competition on that day, but she won the respect of her peers young and old alike. Which is more valuable than any medal. Thanks Edie for having the courage to inspire us all.
July 30, 2013: KTLA Channel 5 – Allie Mac Kay featured The Ruby Karen Project and Orange County Aerial Arts – where kids and adults alike can learn aerial arts through classes and summer camps. Apprentices from the Orange County Aerial Arts coupled with RKP’s students demonstrated cool aerial tricks on various apparatuses including Tissu/ Silks, Lyra/ Hoop, Hammock, Cube, Rope and Trapeze, as well as showcased circus arts such as juggling, contortion, acrobatic partnering and stilts.
