We kicked off the month at the Washington Pavilion in collaboration with Amy Fill and Fine Mess where the youth Dance Collective performed to a live poem reading called "Cloudburst" and the adult Dance Collective performed "Wonderment" to live music by Fine Mess. This was a beautiful community event to be a part of and we look forward to future collaborations like this one! We will share the event video when we have it back!

We hosted an event on March 7 at the Empire Mall in partnership with Altar'd State's Mission Monday Campaign. It included performances from our adult and youth Dance Collective and a Mindful Movement class led by Lead Volunteer Instructor, Lisa Conlin.
..and there is still time to get involved in the campaign by shopping at Altar'd State in Sioux Falls, S.D. on an upcoming Monday!! 10% of all proceeds from every Monday between January 31 and April 11 will go back to support our mission in 2022. Thank you to everyone who has already participated in this fun opportunity!
