Ongoing Support
Help ensure our promising future. We rely on the support of individuals, corporations, and foundations to bring you the breadth and depth of aerial dance programming, education and outreach that is unparalleled in the nation.
We are committed to keeping our tuition and ticket prices affordable for as many people as possible, which means that they do not actually cover all the costs involved in our productions, classes or outreach programs. Each year, we rely on contributed revenue, to help bridge the gap between earned revenue and our actual operating costs.
Please consider funding one of our important programmatic elements:
Kids Who Fly:
- Residency at one of our schools:$1,500
- Summer Camp Scholarship: $350
Our Kids Who Fly program takes aerial dance into public schools in Boulder and Denver, as well as our studio, where we get them into the air—flying! Their attendance in the program is made possible through scholarships. Our goal is to reach more students across a broader range of ages and grades, and to offer these programs for more weeks of the year. Learn More
Professional Company:
- Sponsor a dancer for a year (rehearsals, performances, and costumes): $5,000
- One dancer’s fee for rehearsals and show: $1,000
- Costumes for one dancer: $500
Our Professional Company continually develops new aerial dance pieces and performs for thousands of people each year. The community who attends the shows are from all walks of life, drawn there to be lifted up by the art of aerial dance. This coming year, the Professional Company will present three shows in Boulder and perform Appalachian Spring in Rochester, NY (last seen at the Kennedy Ctr. in Washington DC.). Our need is for artists’ fees and updated fabulous costumes for all our shows. Learn More
Community classes:
- Semester scholarships for youth: $500
- One-week session: $350
- Equipment:
- Aerial Fabric: $150
- Lyra: $350
- Corde Lisse (Rope): $300
- Static Trapeze: $450
- Low Flying Trapeze: $500
Classes, from beginner through intensive training, are available to youth and adults at our two studios in Boulder. Instructors empower students, building their strength and knowledge while also developing confidence that they take with them out of the studio and into the world. Significant growth in our student body has increased the need for additional equipment and support staff. Learn More
Aerial Dance Festival:
- One Artist’s Fee for Performance: $1,000
- One Scholarship for 1 class: $175
- One Scholarship for 2 classes: $350
The internationally-renowned annual Aerial Dance Festival (ADF) is held in Boulder for two weeks each summer, and presents classes, gatherings, and performances by some of the most respected names in aerial dance. This is a colossal undertaking, and one which we could not do without a strong network of staff, donors, and volunteers. Our greatest area of need is support for artists’ fees. Learn More
Terry Sendgraff Scholarship
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.
Make a donation to the Terry Sendgraff scholarship.
