AntiGravity Orlando

What AntiGravity Orlando does

AntiGravity Orlando is a privately held aerial performance and training company operating from Orlando and Kissimmee, Florida, with co-owners Daniel Stover (Artistic Director) and Heather Dodt Stover (Program Director) leading a staff of 51-100. The business operates a vertically integrated studio-to-stage model spanning a pro-training aerial-acrobatics school (Silk, Lyra, Hammock, specialty apparatus, STARZ youth pre-professional team, Pro Gym, and seasonal intensives), an entertainment booking division offering over 30 customizable acts for corporate events, theme parks, television, and theatrical productions, and a consulting arm that designs and fabricates custom rigging, stunt equipment, and aerial theatrical effects. The company's underlying technology is physical rather than software-based, consisting of proprietary rigging systems — including the X' Fly Track, Freestanding Aerial Rig, Fly Track (up to 100 ft), Lollipop Sphere, Carousel, Cubeology, and AntiGravity Boots (PowerSkip) — designed and built in an in-house rigging workshop.

Revenue is generated across five distinct streams: recurring class fees and unlimited passes through the MindBody booking platform; one-time tuition for multi-day summer and winter intensives ($385 per Summer Intensive program); quote-based transaction fees for professional entertainment bookings at events ranging from intimate gatherings to awards shows; ticket and table revenue from showcase performances sold via Ticketleap at the in-house AntiGravity Theater; and professional-services fees from consulting, custom fabrication, and rigging design. Customer segments split between individual aerial students (long-tail, subscription-driven) and enterprise/institutional buyers (corporate event planners, theme parks, television networks, theatrical producers, and other entertainment companies). GTM is primarily direct-to-consumer for training and direct enterprise sales for entertainment, supplemented by performance showcases and community programs (STARZ team, open gyms) that build a pipeline of both students and future performing talent.

The company carries an established international performance resume dating to 2000, including appearances at the MTV Video Music Awards, the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics Closing Ceremonies, the Obama Inaugural Neighborhood Ball, the Grammy Awards with Pink, and Disney Epcot. The business is currently undergoing phased facility construction and expansion at its Orlando headquarters (documented through July 2026), and it uses MindBody and Ticketleap as its primary third-party platforms. There are no external investors, no disclosed funding rounds, and no AI/ML capabilities referenced in the source data.
