Reviving Dance Day was such a joy this summer, thank you to everyone who made this community event happen safely!
According to our tallies, about 200 people came out to Dance Day (not counting the 15+ instructors who volunteered to teach workshops throughout the day, or the 58 performers who graced the stage at the evening showcase!) That’s a whole lotta dancing feet!
Head to the media archives to see pictures from the showcase. Special thanks to Tim Koen for capturing so many amazing moments.
