Why this? Why Now?
On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded the sovereign, peaceful Ukraine and caused the largest refugee crisis since WWII. Over six million
Ukrainians have fled with little more than a change of clothes, a bag of food and their loved ones. While they have left much behind, the
Ukrainian people brought their language, culture and arts. #danceforukraine honors their resiliency and hope for a peaceful return.
