1. Seniors in Motion class at CPMC

We have started our new class for the Acute Care for the Elderly Unit at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco.

The patients are loving it, sometimes dancing with us in a group and occasionally dancing with us one-on-one at their bedside!

2. Arts in Corrections Conference​

In June, SDP's co-founder and executive director, Sylvie Minot attended Arts in Corrections, a 5-day conference for organizations and individuals bringing the arts into state prisons.

Sylvie was invited to speak on a panel as well as lead a master class for conference-goers. ​

3. TheatreWorkers Project Training

After meeting Sylvie at the Arts in Corrections conference, TheatreWorkers Project founder Susie Tanner requested a training for her staff.

Equipped with new exercises and skills, they can now bring even more movement to their theatre classes for underserved communities!

For the fourth year, we led a movement training for somatic psychology interns at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.

5. SDP's 15-Year Anniversary Fundraiser

Sylvie Minot's weekly 5Rhythms Journey Beyond class turned 15 in August, so we went all out.

Our fundraiser dance was a phenomenal gathering of love and support, helping us raise nearly $4,000 for SDP!

Special thanks to those who donated raffle prizes and to John Fraine and Vlad Cardema for playing drums and didgeridoo. ​

6. Iron Springs Pub Fundraiser

Iron Springs Give Back Tuesdays® support local non-profits, and Syzygy Dance Project was selected as a recipient.

We had a great turnout on August 13th; our party alone took up 6-7 tables.

We are grateful for our generous community!
