OUR MISSION

Driftless Water Dance 2024 is a community engaged dance project based out of the driftless region of the Mississippi River Valley. We are a part of National Water Dance 2024, a nationwide movement of dancers and educators that use their art to bring attention to water-related issues. Our goal is to create a space for people to come together and express themselves through dance, regardless of their experience level. Join us for our upcoming dance making events at the Widespot in Wabasha on Sat Feb 25th & Sun March 23rd 12:30-4. You are invited even if you aren't or don't consider yourself a dancer!
