CLINTON, Miss.

What. A. Crazy. Month! Inclined is soaring on adrenaline and joy right now...we had such an incredible Spring Season! Between reaching our Indiegogo Campaign goal, our momentous NYC show presented by The Series, our travels up to Boston, and our SOLD-OUT shows at The Dance Complex in Cambridge, we could not be more happy, grateful, and excited about what we have achieved. Inclined connected with so many amazing artists, dancers, producers, photographers, and videographers both in NYC and in Boston, and we made a wonderful new friend in our Boston split-bill partner Intimations Dance. We have had a truly amazing time. Inclined reached some major milestones this spring, but we could not have done it without a lot of help. We are so indebted to our amazing donors and audiences, and to The Series and The Dance Complex for wanting to present and sponsor our work. Thank you everyone for the incredible support, love, and enthusiasm that has been sent our way. We are so thrilled by our first major Spring Performance Season, and as a Director, I have never been more proud of my incredibly talented dancers. These ladies are nothing short of amazing. So, what's next for Inclined!? We are taking a much deserved breather, but we have some exciting things coming up for this summer and into the fall...so stay tuned. We're on a roll. Thank you again everyone for your generous support this spring.
