This is for the warriors—for the ones who dare to reach high. This is for the dreamers, who find hope in love’s song. This is for us. -Zhané
Come witness a vibrant night of Twin Cities movement at the Community Benefit Showcase! This project is a fundraiser to support mutual aid initiatives of friends and neighbors affected by ICE and the Trump Administration. Donations will go to a variety of networks in Minnesota that have a direct impact on the care of families, individuals, and businesses (see list below).
In honor of the movers and shakers that have helped shape the dance scene, these nights will segment into a panel discussion, taking a dive into past and present operations of artistic leaders in the metro. The dance community is enthusiastic to utilize our art form to contribute to aid relief in our city. We know how important it is to be of service to each other when we are in need—and no better way than to do it together on the big stage.
Be prepared to hoot, holler, and scream as we dance ICE OUT of Minnesota!
