Denver Aerial Dance Collective was established in March 2015 as an outlet for dancers and choreographers to come together, create movement, and inspire one another.
DADC operates through a spirit of collaboration. Instead of the top-down organization of traditional dance companies, all members of the collective contribute creative vision, choreography, and expertise to the repertoire. The result is diverse and eclectic shows that delight audiences of all ages. DADC is also passionate about collaboration in the greater Colorado artistic community, often joining shows with other performers and dancers.
The dancers of DADC are professionals from various dance backgrounds including Ballet, Latin, Jazz, Contemporary, and Aerial dance. Their ultimate goal is to leverage their different strengths to create works that build a stronger appreciation for dance and show that a dancer can shine whether or not their feet ever touch the floor.
Ahead of the 2023 Kansas Fringe Festival, DADC joined reporter Palmer Davidson, KC Fringe organizer Audrey Crabtree, and members of Circus Scorpius to showcase the immense talent on display at the festival. Karlyn Griswold takes the mic to discuss our journey to what is the biggest celebration of arts and culture in the Kansas City metropolitan region.
The Denver Post interviewed Denver Fringe Festival Founder Ann Sabbah in 2023 about the Festival, making the arts accessible to the community, and what to expect for that year. On her short list of shows to see? Returning award winners Denver Aerial Dance Collective.

Denver Aerial Dance Collective is an aerial dance company that combines aerial arts with professional dance in a beautiful and unique way. Their show Un/classica(eria)l has been remixed for the holiday season with a spooky and festive vibe. From serious athleticism to ballerinas en pointe, spinning at high velocity, to wave of colored lights in the dark, this show has something for everyone in every imaginable style.

I’ve seen MANY aerialists since I caught the Fringe bug 19 years ago, but this one ranks among the best. Much like KC hometown favorite Quixotic, Denver Aerial Dance Collective blends style and talent in a how that far surpasses every expectation. Given that they are only in town for the first weekend of Fringe, I suggest you get your tickets now because this company is on the rise (literally and figuratively).
The show blends classical and modern music seamlessly to underscore the panoply of aerial dance styles presented. I particularly liked the way the blended musical genres, from classical standards like such as “Moonlight Sonata” and “Prelude in G”. with international flavors from Spain and Celtic music.
