On behalf of our entire Slamdance team, I am writing to extend our sincerest gratitude for your participation in the AGBO+Slamdance DTLA Summer Showcase. Your presence brought an extraordinary and dynamic dimension to the event, infusing it with the best energy we could have asked for. Through your attendance, the event not only underscored the unity within our community but also highlighted its vitality.

At the core of Slamdance lie inclusivity and accessibility, both of which were epitomized in your presence. Experiencing these values alongside you enriches our mission. Our Slamdance volunteers were absolutely incredible and our gratitude goes beyond saying! We want to extend a deep thanks to each of our ASL Interpreters for their hard work and grace. We want to thank ATIAN Gin, Blackmagic Design, Coverfly, Final Draft, and Unity Coffee for their generous support and collaboration that made the success of our event possible. We also want to thank our great partner AGBO, without whom the Showcase would not have been possible.

Your support and attendance made the immense effort we put into this event feel easy. Once again, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for contributing to the unequivocal success of this showcase.

Warm regards,
Taylor Miller
Festival Director
