Our Sunday dances have long been the heartbeat of a diverse community. It ignites creativity and connection. It provides a full-body emotional outlet. It keeps us dancing through good times and bad. It’s a unique form of worship through self-expression. It’s something our community created together. And it’s time to dance our prayers together again.
We gather to dance our prayers! To co-create magic and miracles! Please consider your intention for coming to dance and how you are contributing to a safe dance container for all! Mahalo
