"Water Spirit" is a kinetic tale of the mysteries revealed inside a drop of water. As icebergs melt and water transforms from frozen to liquid its spirit dances. Performance by UpSwing aerialist Helium Valentine, this aerial dance is performed inside a suspended snowglobe.
Honored to receive recognition for something we did to just survive the pandemic. Shifting from live performances to creating dance for camera was a way to keep moving forward. This dance, Bad, is performed by Helium Valentine to George Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone” performed by Carolyn Wonderland. "Bad" is blue, achy and humanly beautiful.
Life isn't perfect. There can be an edginess. It can feel like a grind. Earthy, but stretching towards the blue sky... a better day..
Our 2nd dance film during this pandemic has received 5 recognitions from festivals across the US, France and India. So excited!!!
“Porshe” means “offering”. Created during C-19 pandemic as our offering of hope in a lonely time.
Choreography: Cherie Carson

BEGINNING/INTERMEDIATE LEVEL FOR ADULTS Returning September 9th, Mondays, 6-7:30 PM taught by Helen Fitanides Aerial dance is a special form of aerial arts with the focus on the inherent beauty and fluidity of movement. Students learn basic vocabulary to move and secure themselves on the equipment by various body parts, but the emphasis of the class is on freedom of movement and expression in the vertical and horizontal space using 'motivity' trapeze, and other aerial equipment such as tissu, slings, lyra, etc. Go to our website in our profile for more information and to sign up. #dancerswhofly #dancinginair #eyeonupswingdance (at UpSwing Aerial Dance & Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Bwc2zh6ly/?igshid=kp57zrdorrkk
