“I strongly believe in providing a SAFE space for dance artists to engage in meaningful conversations and explore new ideas, new voices, and new vision is vital.
It is equally vital to have a nurturing environment where artists can share their artistic expressions without judgment. We invite the community to join us for an evening of breathtaking performances”. --Germaul Barnes, SDW Artistic Director.
