These are just a few of the words our students, parents, and community members use to describe their experiences with Frequent Flyers. Through the art of aerial dance, we offer creativity, health, and connection to people of all ages and backgrounds.
“The performance last night was brilliant. Beautiful, poignant and refreshing.”
“Being a student fulfills social & health needs for me. I feel like I'm a part of a loving, supportive, and creative community.”
"I wasn’t sure about the classes at first, but I loved it! I want to try more things that I may love now.”
Thanks to supporters like you, we’ve shared this joy for 36 years. While the challenges of the past few years have been tough, they’ve also shown us how resilient and passionate our community truly is. With your support, we can not only bounce back but also ensure our doors remain open, allowing us to continue thriving and inspiring our community for years to come.
Have you ever dreamed of flying and defying gravity? At Frequent Flyers, we make the impossible a reality, inspiring both body and spirit.
This fall, we are ambitiously aiming to raise $70,000 to support our operations and to further our mission. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to achieving this significant goal.
We invite you to be part of this important effort. Your gift today is essential to sustaining and expanding our thriving community of artists and performers, enabling us to create more profound and lasting aerial dance experiences for all.
Our mission is to create and promote the magic of aerial dance through performance and education.
Our vision is to help all people to see the world from a new perspective through experiencing the upside-down realm of aerial dance. We believe this expanded consciousness helps everyone to maximize their creative potential, which in turn provides the fertile ground for these problem-solvers to address issues, create new opportunities and solve problems in our community and beyond.
Frequent Flyers Productions, Inc. (FFP) was founded by Artistic Director, Nancy Smith in 1988 and incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1990 to explore and promote the relatively new art form of aerial dance. Since 1988, FFP has been delighting audiences worldwide and is Colorado's only professional aerial dance-theatre company. Performances have included site-specific work (drive-in theatre, church, parks, galleries, etc.) and collaborations with visual artists, composers, construction workers, physicists, and more. FFP pushes boundaries and explores new frontiers. This fearless innovation and attention to quality has made FFP a unique pioneer in the international aerial dance community. To date, over 228,000 people have experienced FFP through a class or performance.
FFP also has pioneered a variety of educational programs: Kids Who Fly for at-risk youth; Aerial Sci-Arts, experiencing physics and the low-flying trapeze for middle and high school students; the international Aerial Dance Festival now in its 24th year; and a variety of aerial classes for the general public. We have reached over 21,000 students with our education programs over the last 34 years, and counting! FFP is recognized as a leader in the field of aerial dance and has put Colorado on the map nationally and internationally as the locus for aerial dance.
In January 2010, FFP took a flying leap by leasing a dedicated class and rehearsal space and in 2015 added a 2nd studio to meet demand. We are the nation's premier Aerial Dance School. We added a 50-member student company and a 9-month Professional Training program. We are on-site at 2 schools for our Kids Who Fly, at-risk youth program and several schools and social service agencies come to our facility for classes and workshops.
Through all performances, the international Aerial Dance Festival, our many educational/outreach programs, and the Aerial Dance School; we bring aerial dance to the people to fulfill our mission.
