And though this is causing financial hardship and anxiety on all of us, together we can support and make things easier through our online interactions. We're just getting started on compiling a list of things you can enjoy In the comfort of your home while supporting our dj/dance community. you can check out DJ's Live streams, join virtual Ecstatic Dance events, support our beloved venue's GoFundMe campaigns. Order delivery from our favorite restaurants. So throw yourself a little house party and let's make some lemonade out of these lemons we've been given. Let's be together while staying apart during these unusual days! And remember - shelter-in-place doesn't mean you can't go for a run or hike in nature.
