What families say

“Our partnership with Amelia Rudolph and Bandaloop is one of our most powerful and enduring of our 25-year history, bringing sophisticated aerial dance training to many youth who would otherwise never imagine dancing on ropes from buildings and walls and theaters. Thank you, Amelia and Bandaloop for making magic with Destiny!” — Sarah Crowell, Artistic Director, Destiny Arts Center
