DanceForce (Monday-Saturday, July 31-August 5)
Connecting with a diverse dancer population became more important to me as the program went on. I was thrilled to get to dance with dancers from all over the country and from such a strong, supportive community. I will definitely keep in touch with the dancers I met through the program!
“Just the gesture of having a mental health seminar itself was extremely impactful. Not enough organizations care enough about the mental health of their dancers.”
