Expect physical tasks/coordinations\, repetitions\, witnessing (seeing and being seen)\, and play.  URL:https://sddancematters.org/event/dance-for-earth/ LOCATION:San Diego Made Factory\, Made Factory\, 2031 Commercial St #114\, San Diego\, CA\, 92113\, United States CATEGORIES:Community Gathering,Convening / Networking,Featured,Social / Jam,Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sddancematters.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Copy-of-Dance-for-Earth.png ORGANIZER;CN="Tess Collins":MAILTO:travelingbygroove@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260809T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260809T235959 DTSTAMP:20260725T082822 CREATED:20260702T215639Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260703T002306Z UID:10000171-1786233600-1786319999@sddancematters.org SUMMARY:SALSA & BACHATA CLASSES FOR NEW DANCERS!
