Ofrenda Fest and Queens Council On The Arts (QCA) present : The Dance Earth, funded through the generosity of the Mertz Gilmore Foundation.
The Dance Earth program creates spaces to connect through dance, ancestral ceremonies, and music. We are looking for groups that can narrate stories with movement, helping us remember the world we live in. Ancient traditions remind us that we are all the elements we carry: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Spirit. By embracing these elements, we can find our own healing. It all starts with gratitude; when we feel grateful, things change, and life becomes more meaningful.
Give us a Hand!
OFRENDA IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT PROMOTES ART, FILM, MUSIC,DANCE PHOTOGRAPHY AND ANCIENT TRADITIONS. OUR GOAL IS TO OFFER A SPACE TO HONOR AND RECONNECT WITH THE EARTH THROUGH RITUAL AND CEREMONIES IN A FUSION WITH THE ARTS. SUPPORT OFRENDA FEST!
