Dolly Jacobs Interview
We interviewed Dolly Jacobs
"Queen of the Air" so that we could find out more about what it's like to be in
the circus. She was soooooo nice. In between her shows she took a lot of time
to talk to us outside her trailer. She told us about her diet, her history in
the circus and a whole bunch more! See our questions and answers below!

Q&A
What did you want to be when you were younger???
When she was first around the circus and she saw the other
girls flipping and flying in the air, she knew that she wanted to be an
aerialist; but before that, she was active in swimming and ballet, and wanted
to make something of being a swimmer
At what age did you start to show
interest in the circus???
At the age of 4 or 5
When do you plan to retire in the
circus business???
She will "never retire in the circus business," but she may
"retire as ‘Queen of The Air’"
Do you guys have a certain diet
that you have to stay on?? Meaning, you can’t go to McDonald’s and eat a Big
Mac right??
She can’t eat a lot before going on stage; she’s also
diabetic so she can’t have a lot of sugar and fat which means, no, she can’t go
to McDonald’s and eat a Big Mac
How do you feel about animals in the circus???
Animals are still absolutely a great idea and need to be
kept in Circus Sarasota; although we’ve been hearing a lot about animal abuse
in circuses, she says, "don’t believe everything you read, see and hear,
because as you saw, the puppies on stage. They were up there waggin’ their
tails, you saw them."
