It's Giving Tuesday (or, "National Unsubscribe Day," as some of our colleagues call it.

Rather than add to today's emails, we're using our socials to encourage you to be generous today. We've had tremendous growth this year--but still face challenges.

We need your support. www.joelhall.org/give

November 21 is always a special day for us. In 2015, the City of Chicago proclaimed it to be Joel Hall Day--and we keep that honor alive each year.

Without Joel Hall and JHDC, Chicago would be a very different dance community.

'Tis the season to give. Support our mission and WERKQ tr.ee/FnLzNw

An heir apparent makes his move at the Chicago dance company that pioneered ‘urban jazz’ Under the artistic eye of William Gill, the Joel Hall Dancers will perform ‘Chicago Luvin,’ set to house music, at a festival celebrating Black dance.

Very honored to have WBEZ onsite to meet with William and Joel this week - and share about Maiya Redding's world premiere we're performing this weekend!
