Program

Social Impact and Dance Sanctuaries identifies and works with four season-long curators who are local to the DMV to assemble free movement-based classes on select Saturdays at the REACH. Through the curators, Dance Sanctuaries creates space for communities of targeted styles and cultures with the intention of building a community environment for new to advanced movers. The program empowers curators to look within and celebrate their community by providing them with the resources to gather existing members and expand their reach in the DMV area.
