Dear TU Dance Community,

For those who have already offered kind words and shared memories about the passing of our beloved Founder & Artistic Director Toni Pierce-Sands, we thank you deeply — your reflections are a powerful testament to Toni’s extraordinary legacy and impact in the dance world. For those who may be learning of her passing now, we invite you to join us in honoring her life and carrying forward her spirit of abundance, gratitude, and community.

Winter Showcase Invitation

We are honored to present the Winter Showcase, featuring CULTIVATE and Levels 4 & 5. This program represents the final project Toni was curating, and it was her wish that we continue moving forward together through dance.

Looking ahead, a Celebration of Life and Legacy event will be held in 2026. We will share more details in the coming days.

With gratitude and love,

TU Dance
