Don't wait. Get your tickets to the Night Heron Ball before they're gone.In 10 days we gather for the good of BANDALOOP and dance as public art and infrastructure for social wellness. Don't miss your chance to be a part of an historic evening for the company and make your move with us in shaping a future we want to dance in.
Dance is one of our truest human expressions and one that shows us just how far we can extend our bodies, hearts, and minds. It opens us open to the world around us and inside of us. The space we occupy as one and many, together on this precious earth. If there is a time to move your spirits and funds with us towards such a things, it is now.
And we're not alone in thinking so. With tickets selling fast we encourage you to get yours soon. This anniversary year is a special gathering of our fans and patrons, new and old, near and far. We hope that you will join us.
Looking forward to celebrating with you soon in your feathered finest.
With care,
BANDALOOP |
