Check out the video from last year’s Redwood Dance Exchange, where youth dancers from Del Norte and Mendocino County in Northern California participated in the Redwood Dance Exchange. In this week-long exchange, they learned vertical dance among the redwoods, working together to create a final performance.
The Redwood Dance Exchange was part of DiRT & Glitter's Youth Art and Adventure Program, in collaboration with the Mendocino Dance Project, and was supported by the Yurok Tribe's Klamath Promise Neighborhood Initiative.
