This summer, we're taking time to recognize the incredible businesses that supported our 2026 Spring Performance Program Book, The Illusionist: In the Eye of the Beholder.

Today, we'd like to thank the Tri-City Chili Peppers for their support of Genia Johnson Dance Company and our dancers. We are grateful for community-minded businesses that invest in local organizations and help make a positive impact right here in our community.

Lindsey embodied kindness, grace, and a beautiful spirit that touched everyone who knew her. Although our time with her was far too short, we were blessed to experience the warmth, love, and light she brought into every room. She was always smiling, always encouraging, and so incredibly proud of her little dancer, Oli & her entire beautiful family. 💜

As her family navigates this unimaginable loss, loved ones are coming together to honor Lindsey's memory and ensure her legacy continues to shine brightly through the lives she touched.

Please keep the Engle family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. If you feel moved to support them financially, a GoFundMe link has been provided in the comments.
