Community Education
Drum & Dance Classes for community members of all ages and ability levels
We are bringing dance outdoors to celebrate, restore, and reconnect with the natural world. Utilizing choreographed movements and live music, we are scattering seeds and transplanting saplings as a community, adding artistry and ceremony to the community planting process. Return is a project aimed at restoring land, dancer, and community.
To learn more about this exciting new restorative dance project, visit returndanceproject.org.
We are currently planning a full 2024 season with Return Dance Project, in addition to maintaining all current Samba Fogo programs. Your donation will go a long way in supporting Return Dance Project and Samba Fogo.
