Christmas Spectacular
The holiday season reached a high note as Odyssey Dance Theatre (ODT) invited our Sharetix community to experience their annual Christmas Spectacular. Over their eight show run, ODT generously donated hundreds of tickets, making it possible for our recipients to experience one of Utah’s best holiday traditions. The production had something for everyone from precision-dancing Santas and hip-hopping elves to soulful contemporary numbers that moved the audience. For our recipients, the opportunity to step away from daily stressors and into a world of dance was a chance to feel the true spirit of the season and a sense of belonging within the arts community. We are grateful to ODT for their continued partnership and for making the holidays a lot more "spectacular" for so many.
We love hearing from our recipients after a show. Some of their responses are below:
