In 2014 Jake Sawa initiated the A! Dance Project. We loved dancing with Jake and the whole community. Last year Jake left for medical school and we found our way, having fun dancing with Ella McIntyre. There is something beautiful about exploring movement and music that invites every body to dance.
Now in 2016 the A! Dance Project is back. Everyone had a blast finding their own rhythms with the help of some great instruction from MacKenzie Drumm! Here’s to many more Dance Projects as fun as this one! Thanks MacKenzie for coming out, and thanks Kevin Ma for planning it!
