What families say
“I made this dance because Open Arms makes me feel very awesome.” — Keely Burns, age 25
“I created this solo because many of us had to “slow down” this past year. I wanted to show that in slowing down my hope is you find peace. Feel the air…breath.” — Shirley Hurley, age 64
“When I’m dancing I feel free to express my emotions without fear of being judged.” — Heather Marie, OADP Dancer & Ambassador
