Free Community programming
Our 2025 Bellevue gathering united people across ages, cultures, and experience levels for a free afternoon of swing dance and live music with an all women’s jazz band—an inclusive arts experience made possible by a grand from the Bellevue Community Fund. We featured a teacher supported by the Al Minn’s Next Generation project and highlighted performances by most of our local dance schools.
