Flying High

Whether you’re interested in aerial dance purely as a spectator or you’re itching to get in on the action, this year’s Aerial Dance Festival has something for everyone. “It’s the only thing like it in the world,” says Nancy Smith, artistic and managing director of Frequent Flyers Productions. “You’ll never have a chance to see these performers together on the same stage anywhere else in the world.”
