Through our classes, we don’t just teach aerial dance, we build strong bodies, confident minds, and creative spirits. The testimonials from our students speak to the deep personal impact that aerial dance has on their lives:
From our Youth and Teens:
"It makes me feel happy, content with life, and calm."
From our Kids Who Fly youth-at-risk:
"I felt comfortable taking safe/healthy risks in this class that would normally be out of my comfort zone."
From our Adult Students:
"I get one day a week to myself, and this class has made me feel so much better. I come in mad and come out happy."
From a first-time Audience Member:
“OH MY GOD. MY WORLD HAS BEEN ROCKED. That show changed my life.”
This is the kind of love and transformation we strive to share with everyone we reach.

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; and a variety of aerial classes for the general public. We have reached over 21,000 students with our education programs 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.
