Due to a serious lack of funding on the governmental level, the work I do is sponsored in large part through private donations. “ANIKAI IN INDIA”, “RIDE FOR THE RIBBON” and "ALL THE PRETTY HORSES" were made possible in 2011 because of the personal generosity of countless individuals. Teaching, performing and creating dance engenders communication, listening and understanding. I am committed to making art that brings joy, beauty and possibility into people’s lives. Thank you for believing in my work and for being part of an ever-larger corps of people who recognize that art is the threshold for change. -DeAnna
