Review of the american dance festival

I am hosting a yoga fundraiser for Sri Lankan bomb victims. I tried MANY Durham venues, but no one wanted to donate their space. Julia Pleasants at ADF, along with the executive director, were the only exception. They gave me a prime weekend slot, for four whole sessions, in the middle of Dance Festival season, for a very small token fee. I asked if I could pay a bit more, given the inconvenience and the staffing costs and so forth, and Julia said, "No. We really believe in this cause."

Prospective event hosts: Choose ADF! The space is utterly gorgeous, and they are excellent people.
