JOIN US IN SUPPORT! With a 34-year history, our ability to adapt, embrace emerging opportunities, and move in new directions has pushed us to creatively confront the COVID pandemic. We had to make the decision in early February 2020 to cancel our annual Spring Gala. Instead, we have recreated an event to help us raise funds for the company called, Vintage’ n ‘Things. Vintage’ n ‘Things is an online auction of fabulous finds including art, memorabilia, collectables, and more. In addition to the auction, the company is running a Fund a Need campaign and exclusive experiences including the beloved Verb Cafes. Help us meet our goal of raising $50,000 by supporting through your auction bids, donations, and sponsorship support! You have the opportunity to bid through Friday, April 16, 2021! With the vaccine rollout to return we will the outdoor summer stage and will continue to bring dance into your lives. Thank you in advance for your generous support of the company!
