With so much on hold during the COVID-19 lockdown, these inspiring stories of dance have kept communities healthy, safe, and connected! From the powerfully healing Table of Silence performance in Lincoln Center for the 20th Anniversary of 9/11, to the Pacemakers, the elderly hype dancers for the Coney Island Cyclones, Mickela is inspired and invigorated with the power that dance has for EVERYONE!
