One of the best ways to support Luna Dance Institute is to learn more about us by participating in one of our dance events. Join us for a free community event such as Dance & Disability panel, Dance Education Forum, or family dance Open House. Or, support us by attending one of our fundraising activities. Past fundraisers range from major galas at outside venues, DJ’d dance parties at our space, Kids Night Out, Oliver Ranch tour, and more. All events rely heavily on volunteer efforts.
