I don't think so and I believe everything that is anywhere written contradicts that. Balrogs may have used to be able to change their forms, but not after they were corrupted by Morgoth (like Sauron could no longer appear fair after he created the One Ring). In any case, dragons were not Maiar, and certainly not Balrogs.
