Fly-by-Night Dance has a Birthday -
We are 20 years old!

Donations towards Our Build It Up  Campaign provide money we need for our upcoming 20th Anniversary Performance Series , Return To Form, on February 1 & 2, 2020.


Why is our 20th Anniversary Project special?
We will engage our community in a variety of ways:
* Expressive performances that push the boundaries of Aerial Dance
* Performances by Alumni dancers
* Invitations to students to Perform in a Preshow 
* $1 Tickets for Children under 18

Our repertory is expressive and meaningful and appeals to all ages.
