Keeping Cultural Arts Alive.
Cultivating Joy and Resistance.
UCC’s Dance-A-Thon celebrates the power of dance and music as acts of connection and resistance during times of division and fear. Starting at 10 AM, enjoy back-to-back classes led by our teaching artists, celebrating the diverse traditions that make UCC a cultural home for many. Grab an all-day pass with party access, or join one or two classes. Every pass helps sustain our programs and community space.
