SUMMARY:Dance For Earth
DESCRIPTION:Dance For Earth is a morning dance-party/class fundraiser\n\n\n\n\nThe goal is connecting community movement education to environmental education. \nEach event is by-donation and includes representatives from different local organizations to share not only their dance (as class participants) but also inform initiatives that direct class takers towards the next most meaningful step towards sustainability in the San Diego/Tijuana area.​The funds generated are redistributed directly to these local environmental organizations (including past recipients: San Diego Coastkeeper\, Groundwork San Diego\, Tree San Diego\, SD River Park Foundation) creating a direct link between artistic practice and ecological action.Each class is specifically themed based on the work each organization is doing for the environment through a one-hour\, integrative\, guided experience. \nAll bodies and levels of movement practice are welcome. Expect physical tasks/coordinations\, repetitions\, witnessing (seeing and being seen)\, and play.
