This sounds quirky alright, but it’s also a good cause … and something that sounds like fun. July is Disability Pride Month, which I didn’t know about until today.
In the true spirit of San Francisco hospitality and acceptance of everyone, everywhere, I decided to post the entire note I got from Lori Guidos, who is also looking for volunteers to help. Give of yourself, and have fun, all at the same time …
***** Let’s Dance!!! *****
In honor of Disability Pride Month, DisabledCommunity.Org is co-sponsoring a dance with other disability and aging focused organizations on Saturday, July 25th from 5-9 pm at the UU Center at 1187 Franklin Street, San Francisco.
This pride dance is open to people with and without disabilities and is planned as a social action to increase self love and social movement and to decrease alienation and isolation within our community.
AXIS Dance Company will kick off the dance from 5:30 to 6:30 teaching dance participants new ways of thinking about movement.
At 6:30 everyone can dance to the musical mixings of Leroy Franklin Moore Jr. of Krip Hop Nation who will be mixing a group of diverse dance music, including music created by artists with disabilities and DJ Reggie Daniels will be spinning them.
Order a Ticket to the Dance Online $5-25 based on ability to pay
