On Facebook, they offer us the option to ask folks to donate to our favorite causes for our birthday. This year, I am asking for some support for Dance and Theater Arts.

Our mission is to provide an adult performing arts program for body, mind, and spirit. We are a very supportive, safe, and inclusive space where all are welcome. Our students range from 18 to 83 presently, and we have many who consider us much more than just a place to sing, act, and dance. We are a community of adults improving our physical being and cognitive skills. Our students are trying new things or returning to things that used to bring them joy. Several have found new friends and reconnected with old friends in the space. Many have said Dance and Theater Arts has changed their lives for the better. There are so many folks who have expressed that they too would love such an opportunity where they live, so the goal is to raise the funds to purchase what is needed to offer online and hybrid classes.

Dance and Theater Arts is now two years old, and I am turning 66 this year. It was a bit of a risk to start a business at 64, and it was a great leap of faith that got us where we are today! I am loving what is happening in the space, and that is due to so many of you helping me to get up and running. Please come visit and see what you have helped to create with your loving generosity.

So please consider helping with this dream to reach more people! Small donations add up, and all donations are appreciated. If you are local, then please join us at the studio on Sunday, June 1st, for a dance party to celebrate! The suggested donation for the event is $25.00, and we will supply snacks, sodas, and cake!

Thank you so much!
