The Spirit In Motion Dance Theater, a non profit dance company, premiered their “Dances of Hope & Madeline” at BCCC a year ago to raise awareness in Kenya and help build water wells for them. The money raised from the performance paid teachers salaries for three months, bought firewood to cook food at an orphanage, and repaid debt to farmers who fed orphans even though they had extra money.
