ABOUT U•DANCE
For FREEDOM
U•DANCE for Freedom started at the onset of Covid-19. Just months before the global lockdown on freedom, U•DANCE gave hundreds of women a chance to come together and dance their hearts out on behalf of those both suffering surviving the plight of human trafficking. We raised funds for a Dallas NonProfit, Rescue Her, as our first foray into the fight together, have since hosted a 2nd successful Dallas-based event, are hosting our third in late Spring of 2024 and are bringing our missional dance movement to Colorado Springs in Fall of 2024...truly, the best is yet to come!
