The steps of the fandango steppers symbolize the steps of our ancestors who led the way for us to be in this space. Some recent, some distant, some ourselves, we all came into this space to honor the present, pat and future.

The Seattle women steel-pan drummers also honor the everlasting unifying power of music, filling the participants bodies with colorful movement. Playing a song that represented the new ownership of this music by women, these beautifully talented women epitomize just that. Multigenerational, multicultural, the intersectionality in this group is inspiring and accessible.
