MEDIA INVITE: Red Clay Dance Company Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, June 29, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Red Clay Dance Company is excited to announce the official ribbon-cutting ceremony of their new location. As the organization moves into its’ new dance facility and continues to implement its strategic growth plans, all in an effort to better deliver on its’ impact and mission.
“This is a momentous occasion for Red Clay Dance Company and our Artistic Director & CEO, Vershawn Sanders-Ward. The pandemic affected our lives, our business and communities and Red Clay Dance Company was not exempt.
Losing our dance home at the Chicago Park District during COVID-19 was devastating. But it did not stop Vershawn from moving forward. The untiring motivation to provide a home for Red Clay Dance Company and Academy led Vershawn to do something many would not have done and that was to build another space during a time that was dire.
Obviously, it was not easy but it was worth it. Now our students have a home for their dance classes and teachers, staff, and dancers can continue to work and master their craft.
When one door closes another one will open. I am so proud to be a part of this occasion,” stated Catrina Franklin Board Chair
