Let me guess...
Without a doubt, dancing is the one activity that rejuvenates you. No matter what life throws at you, it uplifts you every time.
Dance feeds your soul and nourishes your body – it makes your life better.
It’s the place where you feel home - where you’ve had some of the best moments of your life.
From one dance lover to another, I get it.
Dance fills your cup. And we both know, it feels even better when you get to dance with an amazing crew of friends.
Our Dance for Humanity Crews were created for people just like you (and me).
To build a community of dance lovers so we can unite and:
- Unleash our creativity and authentic expression.
- Feed our souls.
- And better the world.
Come be part of our crews and dance with people who cherish dance as much as you do!
The best of dance is yet to come. Your crew is waiting for you.
When you dance with our crews, you'll get to:
- Expand your freedom
- Express without judgment or fear
- Nourish your body and grow in new ways
- Make lifelong friends who share your passion and purpose
- Feel supported through community exchange and co-creation
- Feel fulfilled within - physically, emotionally, spirtiaully socially, and creatively
Come join our crew, and...
Be a part of a badass group of people dancing together for good in our lives and the world.
