The quality is poor but their voices are real!

These women met each other 2 weeks ago in prison - none of them had been to this prison before - I can’t imagine their fear and anxiety yet they were raw and open💛

Listen to Jamie and Sindy share their poetry💛

We will dance their choreography this coming Wednesday at the Avalon and at DANCEFEST on 10/11 at the Saturday from 7-10p

Dance with local teachers, hear from DTBF grads, view our portraits of our graduates from the Beacon and enjoy wine and food while celebrating our mission💛

Where passion meets purpose💛

Thank you for guest teaching this Sat at 11a as we return to the women’s prison💛

Heading to Nebraska! We are working with women that just arrived in prison and are living in what they call a diagnostic and evaluation unit.

I can’t imagine the fear they must be feeling with having just been transferred from county jail to now another unknown and traumatic environment. We hope to bring some healing.

Hope to see you at DANCEFEST on 10/11 at the Saturday from 7-10p

Beautiful moments from prison in Pueblo:

“We all want to go home”

“I am learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable”

“We say we want to break the cycle but here we are”

One woman had to get her wrist seen by a doctor today in Canon City where she’s from - she saw her house from the transport vehicle💔

The trauma that these women have survived gets passed on like a vampire’s bite. The ancestral trauma is deep and real.

It is palpable and often leaves us feeling very discombobulated, but these women were such a pleasure to work with and choreograph with💛
