As-salaam alaykum! Happy December! Winter did not use to be my favorite season, but with age I have grown to love the quiet. Tis the season of introspection, moving inward, reflecting on lessons, dreaming of what can be. Over the past 14 years, we have grown, refined, learned, advocated, connected, and continued to dance. Our work has changed from our modest dance performances to our full theater productions, sponsoring cultural artists, developing cultural educational materials, and community advocacy. We could not have done this without the dedication of our whole dance family~ our directors, dance members, and YOU! So shukran/thank you for supporting the work we do. We remain committed to nurturing our common humanity and celebrating this life through dance. Have a beautiful holiday season. Free Falastin and keep dancing!
As so many families now struggle even more to eat, we are doing a fundraiser to help end hunger in America. No one should go without a meal, yet more than 47 million people in America face hunger. As part of our “Huriya” concerts last month we were able to raise over $200 from concessions towards Feed America. Let’s keep it going! Every $1 donated helps provide at least 10 meals. It only takes a little to make a big difference. Please contribute TODAY! Together we do great things! DONATE HERE AND SHUKRAN!
