My name is Myriam Levine-Kay. I am a former professional choreographer & digital filmmaker (MA in film studies). In June 2021, I lost my home in a fire tragedy. I created this digital Dance Museum , while living in transitional housing (for women who've lost their homes) for a period of 8 months. The present objective of my dance museum is to help me raise enough donations to move out of transitional housing and have a home again. Thank you for not remaining indifferent and for offering your gift of support.
