The breakdancing portion of Tune In To Your Mental Health was one of the highlights of the whole day!

A huge thank you to No Easy Props for bringing this experience to the event, and to Ryan and Jared Porter for making a special appearance and sharing their energy with the community.

And an extra special thank you to Linoleum City Inc. for providing the linoleum that made it all possible.
This part of the day brought people together, created so much joy, and reminded us of the power of movement, music, and community.
