BRATTLEBORO-On the Spring Equinox, Friday, March 20, Center for Solace invites the community to “Move for Solace,” an early evening dance party fundraiser.
The event will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. at Saxtons River Distillery, 155 Chickering Drive. A cash bar will be available. Space is limited, so arrive on time.
With the tagline “Shake off winter. Move your body. Be home by 9,” Move for Solace offers “a chance to gather, exhale, and reconnect through music and movement,” organizers wrote in a news release, “all while supporting a vital local nonprofit.”
Music will be provided by DJ Mālama, spinning a mix of funk, disco, R&B, and other favorites to keep dancers moving and spirits lifted.
The dance floor is open to everyone and “intentionally centers women, queer, trans, and nonbinary community members — because everyone deserves a place to exhale, move, and feel strong.”
In seasons that can feel heavy or uncertain, organizers said they believe “in creating spaces for both reflection and joy,” with this dance party envisioned as “the first of what may become a seasonal offering — an opportunity for the community to gather, shake off what’s been weighing on them, and step into the next season together.”
Admission is a suggested donation of $15–$40 at the door, with all proceeds benefiting Center for Solace. The mission of Center for Solace (formerly Brattleboro Area Hospice) is to offer services and support—free of charge—for serious illness, hospice, and grief while engaging the community in conversations about mortality and life.
