“Vertical dance is an internal wellness method as much as it is a public expression of awe. A practice of resilience, both personal and communal. We are nourished through connection to our ecosystem of support. Thank you for being part of the enduring spirit of our work.”
35 Years. 35 Days.
$35 to Lift BANDALOOP.
Thirty-five years ago, Amelia Rudolph, with a small group of dancers and climbers, imagined a new way of moving through the world - one that invited curiosity, courage, and joy into vertical spaces. That vision has grown into BANDALOOP, a global community bringing dance to walls, mountains, and city streets, inspiring wonder and connection everywhere we go.
As we step into our 35th anniversary year, we’re launching 35 Days of Giving, a campaign to raise $35,000 and welcome a new circle of $35/month sustainers. Your support will help us continue creating unforgettable performances, expanding our community programs, and transforming public spaces into stages of awe and joy.
Why $35/month?
Small, consistent contributions power big impact. By joining our sustaining community, you’re helping BANDALOOP plan ambitious projects, expand global access, and ensure our next 35 years of innovation and inspiration are possible.
A Gift for Giving
The first 35 to join our Anniversary Sustainer Circle will get their choice of gift from the BANDALOOP Merchandise Archive. Our extra thank you for our fast acting sustainers. Don't miss your chance for your free gift!
Join the Anniversary Circle and amplify the awe, joy, resilience, and freedom that is uniquely vertical dance.
THANK YOU!
