About

About

Frequent Flyers® Aerial Dance is a non-profit founded in 1988 by Artistic Director, Nancy Smith. We celebrate our 33rd year in 2021. Our organization has a robust education program encompassing over 43 community classes a week, summer camp and intensives, a student company with over 40 members, and outreach programming for at-risk youth and pre-professional training for teens and adults. We have taught over 21,000 students the joy of dancing in the air. The Professional Performing Company has won many awards and accolades, including the recently resounding success at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Over 200,000 audience members have experienced the beauty and strength of our performances. Frequent Flyers® also created the first international Aerial Dance Festival, celebrating its 23rd year in 2021. Our dedicated facility has two large studios with 23′ ceilings and more than 4,500 sq.ft. of training and rehearsal space. Frequent Flyers is considered the flagship aerial dance organization in the world.

Mission

Frequent Flyers® mission is to create and promote the magic of aerial dance through performance and education.

Our vision is to help all people to see the world from a new perspective through experiencing the upside-down realm of aerial dance. We believe this expanded consciousness helps everyone to maximize their creative potential, which in turn provides the fertile ground for these problem-solvers to address issues, create new opportunities and solve problems in our community and beyond.

Our Organization

Frequent Flyers® Aerial Dance is managed by Artistic Director, Nancy Smith; Education Director, Alysha Perrin;  Community Programming Manager, Natalie Keller; Education Coordinator, Anastasia Timina; Administrative Support Specialist, Sue Sutherland; and Rigging and Equipment Manager, Danielle Garrison with a very dedicated board.  Our volunteer group, the Friends of Frequent Flyers® , is also an invaluable asset. And, our company of talented dancers, choreographers, and teachers is the heart and soul of what we do. Get Involved
