Dance has been shown to activate our brains, foster creativity, strengthen memory, relieve stress, and build community. Dance is for everyone!!

Indah Walsh Dance Company creates participatory performance gatherings entitled homespun (please remove your shoes) that invite the audience to choose how they wish to engage through participatory activity. Upon removing your shoes, you may be invited to share a joke, sing, play games, dance, and/or meditate. Through dance, games, music, and humor the work serves as a space to gather and interact, indulging our innate sense to be in connection with one another. homespun (and the Open Jam) is family-friendly so bring your kids and let them play!
