When Dance Place is closed for breaks or holidays, we often gather elsewhere to Dance & Donate: Monday Night Modern classes where 50% of your pay-what-you-wish contributions go to an intentionally chosen charitable cause. The Dance & Donate series has supported: Women of Color in the Arts, Black Visions, SOLE Defined, DC Diaper Bank, DC Abortion Fund, DC Survivors Support Network, Land Back Project of Cedarville Band of Piscatawy Indians, Inc., Hawai’i Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund, Ayuda, Nailah Studio, UNRWA USA National Committee, DC Migrant Mutual Aid, Trans Youth Equality Foundation, and the DC LGBTQ+ Community Center. 

I also offer the annual Nasty Woman Movement Series every late Summer – a series of Dance & Donate workshops that are longer sessions, more experimental, and sometimes deep dives into somatic or improvisational practices. Annual favorites include Barbara Dilley’s Contemplative Movement Practice, Just the Phrase, and Continuous Movement Extravaganza.
Please reach out if you’re interested in partnering with HSB for a class or workshop to direct money to an important cause! Email Sarah at heartstuckbernie@gmail.com
