Thanks to all our distinguished guests, performers, dancers, speakers, well wishers and weekly supporters for making The Air We Share Dance Festival a Sensation!


The Air We Share Dance Festival showcased the latest Bronx initiatives designed to improve air quality in partnership with the second annual dance festival at the JBLOC Garden Community Farmers Market Second Annual Dance Festival.

The Bronx: Birthplace of Great Ideas


The idea for this event stems from JBOLC’s community partnership with KTC (Krueger Transit Consulting). KTC has launched a project to clean up the air in the Bronx by replacing diesel buses out of the MTA Gun Hill depot with clean hydrogen fuel cell electric buses. A switch to zero-emission fuel cell buses, which emit no tailpipe pollution and will be powered through 100% clean electrolysis, will eliminate over 687,501 pounds of greenhouse gasses annually in the Bronx.

You Have to Breathe to Dance


Environmental and Arts Programming have flourished at the JBOLC Market over the past years, attracting families with children, seniors and an inclusive mix of neighbors of all ages. Less a commercially driven market than similar enterprises in other boroughs, the market has become a weekly community gathering where people can purchase farm fresh fruit and vegetables, garden, sit, dance, eat fresh and healthy vegetarian and vegan food, share poetry during open mic sessions, learn about nature and ecosystems, enjoy flowers, fruit trees and edible plants and participate in numerous fun and educational activities and events.

“If there is something we need more of in the Bronx, it is better air quality and more opportunities for residents of every age to see and participate in dance,” says Daniela Del Giorno, organizer of the Dance Festival portion of the event. Del Giorno is the Founding Director of the Silver Shoes Dance Club. Her club members have been polishing their steps in a six-week, open air program on the site of the JBOLC. “JBOLC loves to see more people move and dance like no one is watching,” observes Del Giorno. It will be our biggest event of the season and we hope to see you!

Here's what has been said about us: "Of the many incredible submissions that are empowering individuals to shape their built environment, our jury of Urbanist Members were particularly impressed with your project, Another Country/James Baldwin Outdoor Learning Center."
We would love to thank all the urbanists who participated the event, especially those who came to our table and showed interests in what we are doing and supported us and our outdoor programs.
And big thanks to our team for a stunning presentation!

The combination of tactile artifacts and story handouts, so elegantly formatted was such a strong reminder of where we have come and where we are going!
