Knox College Residency

ADC just returned from a weeklong residency at Knox College where we taught aerial dance to Knox and the surrounding community and set an aerial dance work on the Knox College Dance Ensemble. Read an article about the workshops and masterclasses we lead at Knox.

While we were there for a week of teaching dance, "the aerial way" ADC also performed at the Harbach Theatre. Read the article about our performance.

Our wonderful website is back up to speed!

If you've been to our website recently, you probably noticed it was moving pretty slowly. Is that any indication that our dancers have also been taking it easy? No way! We are in full swing as the new 2011-2012 season kicks off, and we are currently gearing up for our performance of Aerial Works RAW on December 3rd. The dancers look amazing!

Now more about our wonderful website:

  1. We had known about the slowness of the site for a while. We had suspected that it was caused by our e-commerce functionality (for ticket sales, class registration, and donations). We have removed this from our site for the time being. This has immediately improved the speed.
  2. We moved these things over to a service called Bigcartel. You will be able to buy tickets and register for classes and make donations, and use your PayPal account to pay for your purchases just like before. You'll notice it looks a little different, but please rest assured that it is a reliable and secure service. So, get those tickets to RAW now. As of today, there are only 45 seats remaining!
  3. If you had an account with us while our old e-commerce system was in place, that will no longer exist, your username/password will no longer work and your order history will no longer be viewable from the site. We are sorry for this inconvenience. If you need assistance in this area, you should feel free to contact us.

So, with the speed improved, click away and enjoy the recent updates. If you have any feedback, we'd sure enjoy hearing from you. And, looking forward to seeing you at RAW this December!

'Unearthed' conveys clear message

July 18, 2011 | By Sid Smith, Special to the Tribune

"Unearthed," the Aerial Dance Chicago program now at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts, is a title with multiple meanings.

It refers to the ecological message of the piece, which is reinforced by the novel lack of handout paper programs as a conservation measure. (Information is posted on a lobby bulletin board instead.)

And unearthed is a good overall description of this team, whose members' aerial arts enable them to defy gravity...
