BANDALOOP Takes Flight - Dancing on a Skyscraper

"You've probably never seen anything like this before. Six members of the vertical dance troupe BANDALOOP descended the façade of the new 100 Northern Ave. building commemorating its grand opening at Boston's Seaport District. The performers are held securely by special rigging allowing them to mesmerize audiences with dynamic physicality and intricate choreography. You'll want to turn on the sound for this one."

On June 9, 2016 BANDALOOP commemorated The Fallon Company's grand opening of 100 Northern Avenue, a 17-story commercial tower and the fifth building to be completed at Fan Pier on Boston’s waterfront, during a private celebration.

Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh and The Fallon Company President and CEO Joseph F. Fallon officiated the building’s opening just prior to BANDALOOP’s performance.
