Since 2005, UpSwing Aerial Dance Company has been a destination for dancers and movement enthusiasts to push their artistic development. Director Cherie Carson brings her unique style, blend of movement, encouraging improvisation and collaboration with her dancers & students.

We specialize in merging dance with rope and harness, low flying trapeze (Motivity Trapeze), slings, bungees, and tissu. We have 3 teaching dancers/aerialists on faculty, and 5 adjunct faculty committed to the merging of dance and aerial arts. UpSwing Aerial Dance offers a rare blend of creativity, aerial technique, improvisation, time and space to motivate the artist within you.

UpSwing pushes the boundaries of dance in the choreography and in the classes they teach.
