New: Terry Sendgraff Scholarship

The application deadline has passed for ADF 2020. Thank you to our applicants!

Donations in honor of Terry Sendgraff, the mother of aerial dance. Her legacy lives on in Frequent Flyers® Aerial Dance and we trace our lineage to her work.

The Scholarship in Terry’s name will fund scholarships for the international Aerial Dance Festival, held annually in Boulder, Colorado each July / August. Terry was instrumental in the development of the Aerial Dance Festival, having attended the first one in 1999 and continuing to teach and create performance pieces for several more ADFs.
