Dear Dance Community,

Patricia has been supporting the New England Dance community for a decade as the person behind the scenes taking registrations, organizing swag, doing the programs and show orders, helping at the festivals and workshops and shows, and more. Honestly, Raq-On would not have been able to do so much without her help. She is moving to be closer to family and leaving New England.

If anyone would like to do a traditional tip shower of the dancer but in 2026 style, Patricia's venmo is below.
