The 13th Annual Thank-You Note

0

As usual, Dance Day was a phenomenal experience. Thank you to everyone who made this community festival possible.

According to our tallies, more than 230 people came out to Dance Day (not counting the 15+ instructors who volunteered to teach workshops throughout the day, or the 70 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 Nathan Kuruna for capturing the magic of the show.
