Give the Gift of Dance for Giving Tuesday
Help us bring healing movement to healthcare workers!
Syzygy Dance Project (SDP) brings the transformative power of dance to under-served communities in the San Francisco Bay Area.
To help in wake of the pandemic, we are seeking your support to bring mindful movement and dance to healthcare workers on the front lines of COVID-19.
In the past 20 years, mindfulness meditation has become a widely-accepted therapy in healthcare and we believe movement and dance will follow a similar path.
Our goal is to cover lost income from classes and workshops due to COVID-19 and offer free movement classes to healthcare staff on the front lines at the Palo Alto VA Healthcare System.
Even a few minutes of music and mindful movement each day makes a tremendous difference for the well-being of healthcare workers during this unprecedented time, and their ability to continue their tireless care for others.
In the past fewyears, we have offered numerous classes and training at various healthcare facilities around the Bay Area (see the full list on the SDP Facilities Served page here).
Funds from Giving Tuesday donations will support Syzygy Dance Project's trainings and classes for nurses, therapists, occupational therapy students, and hospice professionals.
Furthermore, we have offered classes and Outreach Facilitator Trainings to the following communities:

Syzygy Dance Project is dedicated to helping people overcome physical, mental, and emotional challenges by connecting mind, body, and spirit through the power of movement. Using creative movement exercises, participants learn how to utilize their body as a resource to release stress, anxiety, and/or depression, overcome challenging personal situations, and create space for joy, fun, and healthier behaviors. We've repeatedly witnessed how movement can transform lives, which is why we hope to bring this work further out into the world!
