Cultivating A Culture of Safety, Care and Trust Through Inclusive Dance Education
"I feel safe. I feel free."
"I've never felt so grounded, at peace, and connected so far off the ground."
"We respect each other as beings."
These are just some of the heartfelt words shared by participants in BANDALOOP's inclusive dance programs. Our commitment to a Culture of Safety is integral to everything we do, starting at our home studios in West Oakland. We're thrilled to present our first-ever mini documentary showcasing this dedication.
Introducing a stunning 5-minute short film by Oakland filmmaker Nino Fernandez!

    Is the next logical step to get to the International Space Station? Your dance reminds me so much of my all-time favorite book "Stardance" by Spider and Jeanne Robinson. If you haven't read it, you should! It's about a dancer who's "too big" by society's standards and goes to great lengths to BE a dancer. It's pretty cool, as is your dancing!!
