Waltz On The Walls: Dancers Perform Epic Vertical Dance On Oakland City Hall

Amelia Rudolph and Roel Seeber, two innovative dancers from the Bandaloop dance company, recently performed an extraordinarily graceful “Waltz on the Wall” suspended on the side of Oakland’s City Hall for the city’s annual Art + Soul festival, twisting and trning effortlessly over the heads of their spectators far below.

The Bandaloop dance company specializes in suspended or vertical dance, which gives its dancers unprecedented freedom to effortlessly glide to the air as if they were dancing on the moon. The first-person perspective, captured with GoPro cameras, makes the video all the more thrilling – you get to see just how high up the dancers are as they make their astounding aerial maneuvers!

There is a beast with heart of cold stone
that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. //
Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees.
My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. //
I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw
