 Inspired by the 2 Minutes at 7pm #GetLoudForOurHeros, my 10th Dance Is Home is dedicated to our frontline workers.
Let’s make dances in appreciation of our frontline workers. In your house:
In recent weeks I’ve enjoyed the 7pm #GetLoudForOurHeros demonstration of solidarity and gratitude for our frontline workers. Let’s use this brilliant idea of showing support with sound that connects across spaces and places to make a dance. I encourage you to perform it at 7pm for our heroes.

In “Sound On” (#7) earlier this week, I enjoyed the opportunity to pause, listen, and try new styles so much that I decided it would be fun to dive deeper, let go, and explore a new reality.
