Aerial dance and aerial circus arise from separate lineages with distinct aesthetic values. This paper will begin by identifying the individual aesthetics and historical roots of both aerial dance and aerial circus, and articulating points of natural conflation. Blurring between aerial circus and aerial dance is perhaps reflective of a similar, global blurring across numerous performance genre.
