A little about teacher J Miles:
“I am a Yogi, martial artist, body worker, retired breakdancer, community activist, and the son of a Baptist minister, and have been learning and studying eastern arts and philosophy for nearly two decades. But movement itself, and creativity and exploration of movement through dance has always been a constant source of curiosity and confidence. From learning how to headstand at five from my father, to walking on my hands and tumbling as an adolescent, to playing sports as a teen, to poppin and lockin, I’ve always been moving.”

Someone broke into both of our sheds Saturday night. Tools and materials are missing. Both sheds were generally trashed.

Many on our volunteer team came together to help. Storing found tools outside of the shed. Reattaching what was left of the locks. Cleaning up. Organizing. Repairing. Running to the store for more bolts.
The resilience of this team is incredible.

PLEASE DONATE if able and help us recoup cost of lost tools, repairs and infrastructure upgrades.
