Salt Spring Community Dance Program
MIXED ABILITY DANCE COMMUNITY NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT
Since 2014 a group of very special community members have been dancing weekly together. Over the last year we were able to move online and more recently outside. The benefits of dancing together have been extremely heartfelt and deeply profound.
Prior to covid these classes were funded by local organizations: Friends, GIFTs and Choices. Unfortunately, these organizations were unable to do any fundraising events this past year and as of today the money has run out for this program.
We are asking for support to cover the cost of both the online & outside sessions for the next 4 months.
If are able to support please send what you can, any amount will make a difference. Thank you.
