35 Years. 35 Days. $35 to Lift BANDALOOP!
https://www.bandaloop.org/support

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.

What a night. The BANDALOOP Gala was a powerful reminder of what happens when community shows up — not just to witness, but to uplift, to connect, and to be inspired.

Thank you to everyone who gathered to celebrate the power of vertical performance, support local artists, and fuel innovation in movement. Your presence makes this work possible — and meaningful.

The sky isn’t the limit. It’s the stage.
