<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Chalkduster;color:#1a1a1a">"BeatRoot is one of the most
exciting things I've been able to be a part of! Most people believe dancing is
something we do in classes or drunk at dance clubs, but BeatRoot gives a
variety of people, including our country’s veterans, the opportunity to get out
of one’s head and let life, love, and rhythm move through your body! Its a
blast to see smiling, warm faces being free with movement and it always
rejuvenates me for my week to come!" –Katie</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Chalkduster;color:#1a1a1a">“I read somewhere once where someone
once said that there is not Jazz music but rather <i style>moments</i> of Jazz music. In other words there are sublime moments
where one tunes into their very own soul and connects to something bigger than
themselves. BeatRoot dancing is like that. There are sublime moments when one
forgets about themselves and their surroundings and consciously making the body
move. These are moments when the music dances the person. These are sweet
reprieves from the everyday humdrum of life.” —Raymond, veteran</span></p>

illuminating the way for the whole nation. If veterans can achieve awareness,
transformation, understanding, and peace, they can share with the rest of
society the realities of war. And they can teach us how to make peace with
ourselves, and each other, so we never have to use violence to resolve
conflicts again.” —Thich Nhat Hanh</font></span></p>
