Featured Organization

TILTshift Dance

TILTshift Dance aims to build relationships and community through the medium of contemporary dance. We believe in the many ways people can engage with dance – learning, practicing, creating, and collaborating. Through shared movement, we believe people practice empathy, experience catharsis, and develop a deeper sense of humanity. As individuals build relationships, communities build deeper ties both within itself and outwardly with others.
