Review for Interplay Inc, Oak Park, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a middle aged non-professional dancer who has been transformed in the last 10 years by InterPlay. When I started, I was NOT middle aged, didn’t have grey hair and certainly did not consider myself a dancer. As time has progressed I enter into mid life with ease and grace with the tools I have found in InterPlay....Dancing all the way! When I dance alone, I am a solo dancer, when I dance on behalf of someone or some circumstance, I am prayerfully dancing. I dance at work albeit in my cube in the corporate world, but I dance! I dance with an incredible ensemble, Off The Deep End; which sprang from InterPlay. I stepped into InterPlay's philosophy, jumped into the Programs that lead me to a deeper understanding of my own being and I dance, dance, dance! In Raleigh, North Carolina there is a strong InterPlay community that embraces diversity, encourages, affirms and provides opportunities to play and dance.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

my personal life by gaining a deeper appreciation and compassion for other people and their journeys. I have grown to love at a level that gives me peace. I have greatly advanced in my performing abilities with dancing, singing and storytelling.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Change the world.
