Roe v. Wade
A message from Sonia:
“I could not stay silent on this. Thank you Amanda Gorman for your poetic genius, SBDC dancers for allowing my outrage to flow through your bodies and Imperium Dance Studio for the space to enable our movements to speak out. Politicians have no place in our personal and private reproductive matters. #mybodymychoice.” - Sonia Balazovjech, Founder & Director

Education Creates Empathy
SBDC proudly contributed our talents to a thesis project by recreating the written word into moving art with a message.
Racial profiling is an act that affects many daily. Through research, it’s been
proven that the more knowledge you have the more empathetic you become.
Education Creates Empathy.
