We’re springing back, because we’re resilient, we’re creative, and we’re dancers. We were blooming at home till now and because of our community — you, our dancers, our partners, and our Board — we continue to grow and discover new rhythms and possibilities for the future. 

We want you to join us! Our goal is to raise $10,000 by June 30 to cover lost revenue from our Spring 2020 show cancellations, and to help us prepare for our next season. Be a donor to Winifred Haun & Dancers. And if you give $100 or more, you’ll get 2 free tickets to our exclusive fall event. Donate now (while you’re still thinking about it):

Dear Fan of WH&D,

Like you, we are horrified by the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Laquan McDonald, Philando Castile, Michael Brown, and too many others, by our nation’s police officers. We are also devastated by the unfair impact that Covid-19 has had on black and brown people.  

Today is Blackout Tuesday, a day when arts organizations are protesting injustice. We strongly support this protest, so all of our activities are cancelled today, and our social media will be silent.

Systemic racism is real and it shows up in every sector of our society.  Even in the arts.  We practice and encourage diversity in the dance field, and we encourage you to support these awesome Chicago dance companies led by women of color:

Muntu Dance Theatre
Banks Performance Project
South Chicago Dance Theatre
Desueno Dance

May we form a more just and equitable world together,
Winifred Haun & Dancers

PS Tuesday, June 2’s Beginning Modern Dance class is postponed till tomorrow, Wednesday, June 3 at 6pm.

We Are Doing Fine is a new dance film created by Winifred Haun. Its about (you guessed it…) the Covid Quarantine, and how we are all coping (or not…). It make you laugh, cry and feel hopeful, all in under 4 minutes. You can watch it on YouTube.

It features original music by Barry Bennett and an essay by Crooked Media’s Sarah Lazarus. Ann Filmer reads the essay and Iris Parke is the solo dancer.
