From Georgia to Maine, we have taught, danced, explored, and played with so many wonderful people. We put this site together because frequently we are asked if we can do more to share our experiences and advocacy for joy. This extends beyond dance and music into relationships, building community, and living well. In the Movement, Rhythm and Groove sections you can read more about our philosophies, intentions, and musings.
So, here it is. August 5, 2024. We plan to put together some events to engage in person and we will be working on some online events and materials to use multiple platforms to reach folks. We are excited about this next step in our journey and hope you will join us! Come back soon to check in on us, hope to have more up in the next coming weeks.
