The Department of Theater, Dance and Film Studies at Washington and Lee University presented the aerial dance performance “Vertical Dance” May 22-23. The performances were held outside on the wall of Wilson Hall at the Lenfest Center for theArts.Aerial dance is an emerging form of modern dance, in which dancers are suspended 50 feet in the air in harnesses and tethered to steel cables that allow them to perform against the vertical surface of a wall. Local photographer Ted Burrowes attended all three shows and sent these photos of the performances to The News-Gazette.
