Thank you Hustle and Soul for recognizing 206 Zulu’s contribution to the dance community in the Nortwest!! This means so much to the org and to me personally. As a wheelchair user who does NOT dance, I’ve always found freedom in watching people move. Expression in its purest form. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to see so many of the best dancers all around the globe, and it just energizes my soul deeply. We love the dance community and do all we can to provide space and nurture the scene. We do it unconditionally, for the community and the culture. So when the community gives us flowers, this is truly special. We give thanks!! 

Also, I want to give unending gratitude to Alonzo Ybarra, Kitty Wu, Georgio Brown, James D. Croone Sr., Robin Lee Harris Jr., Colleen Pele’ Ross-Washington, Orbitron Orb, Kaku Brothersand all our 206 Zulu family who does so much invisible work behind the scenes in a continued effort to uplift, preserve and celebrate our culture- thank you!!
