Sometimes, what we need in our grief is the ability to learn something new. Exercising control over our bodies and excitement for a new challenge can be a great way to relieve stress and grief.
Join us for a one-hour session where you'll learn the basics of vogue with Ralph Escamillan from VanVogueJam!
Bring options for dancing in shoes or socks and wear something comfortable to move in.
Ralph will be donating ALL of his funds:
30% to Qmunity
30% to UNYA
The remainder to Van Vogue Jams
