Remembering Alison Binder Marshak

Dance Freedom wants to acknowledge the passing of our founder Alison Binder Marshak with a memorial Dance on October 24th. I will be bringing a book of photos donated to Dance Freedom by Alison’s husband Bob Marshak and video. Please write down any memories you have of Alison to share in the book.

If you have Songs from the 80’s that you remember from Alison’s set, email them so they can be included in the evening’s music for Dance Freedom’s birthday—which will be celebrated April 10th, 2026. Dance Freedom will try to recreate some of the dance pieces that Alison shared at the Bi–annual Dance Freedom Birthday Talent show.
Please email info@dancefreedom.com if you were in or saved video or photos from it.

Get ready for Halloween
At 8:00pm spend some time practicing the moves from Michael Jackson’s Thriller to share at evening’s end.

Come as you are, wherever you are

Join us each week
Wednesdays & Fridays 8:30-9:30 pm (ET)
for gathering in a virtual community

 Dance Friday and Dance Freedom
are joining the virtual dance world.
We look forward to seeing your faces,
dancing together, and connecting online.
Since we can’t play together in person,
let’s play together remotely!
All are welcome!

The dance sets will be around 55 minutes of carefully selected music from our devoted crew of Dj’s, put together from all eras and styles each set will contain Something for Everyone
We have a short circle at the end where you will be invited to share briefly a reflection about your experience at this time, a poem, quote, song, or something you are thankful for. No one has to share (you can always pass).
