In an innovative combination of rappelling and dance, Project Bandaloop suspends dancer/athletes in mid-air and allows them to explore both vertical and horizontal movement. They have performed in all kinds of places: suspended beneath the Space Needle in Seattle and off of El Capitan in Yosemite.

Spark watches the dance group as they introduce a new “floor” into their routine — a vertical, trampoline-like surface that enables an even more interesting relationship between dance and gravity. The addition of this trampoline allows them to show projections as well as travel to venues around the world tp introduce new audiences to their unique perspective on dance.
