Dances From Thin Air

Dances from Thin Air is a multimedia evening of vertical dance and film of the company’s recent mountain dances. For one night only, BANDALOOP will light up the Great Wall Oakland at Broadway and West Grand with its acclaimed, dynamic vertical dance.
The award-winning short film SHIFT, shot in Yosemite National Park in 2015 and recent footage of the new work Coyote Waltzes filmed as part of the National Park Service Centennial will frame the live performance on the wall. Learn more.

Great Big Story & Harper's BAZAAR

In the past few weeks, BANDALOOP has had the incredible fortune to bring its perspective-changing dance to new audiences around the world.

Great Big Story is dedicated to "the untold, the overlooked, and the flat-out amazing." This stunning piece captures the essence of the pioneers of vertical dance. Watch the story, Sky Dancing.

Harper's BAZAAR shot BANDALOOP dancers Jessica Swanson and Becca Dean on Oakland City Hall for the feature "Women Who Dare". See the online feature here and watch footage from the day here, including interviews with the dancers. The video was shot by BANDALOOP rigger James Adamson.
