About Us

BANDALOOP honors nature, community, and the human spirit through perspective-bending dance.

The company trains dancers and youth at home and on tour, and has performed for millions of people in over 300 cities in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the Americas, and Asia, and on screens in films and digital media.
