Dance Helps People Make Sense Of The World...
And We Need That More Than Ever!
With the support of our enthusiastic audiences (that's you!) and our generous funders we managed to continue our vibrant programming, create new digital programs, train our dancers and musicians, and perform! Our online platforms allowed us to welcome an entirely new audience reaching over 1200 people in 219 California zip codes, 35 states and 23 countries!
Even with all of our efforts, COVID 19 resulted in a 65% loss of income. And now, we are asking you to continue your support so that we may thrive in 2021!
Please consider a generous donation which will assist us in keeping our doors open. We thank you in advance so that we can meet our end-of-the-year fundraising goal of $15,000!!
