Event Description
While today jazz and blues may be regarded as different musical genres, jazz music evolved out of blues musical traditions creating a fuzzy distinction between what is strictly “blues” or “jazz.” As both blues and jazz music spread throughout the country, different dance traditions evolved to similar music. Due to this overlap, we have multiple ways to dance to slow jazz. Join instructor Laura Chieko for a day-long exploration comparing and contrasting several ways of dancing to slow jazz music, including vernacular solo jazz movements, ballroomin’ blues, slow Lindy, and slow balboa.
All are welcome:
~ Dancers from all backgrounds are encouraged to join us!
~ While some of the material will be thought at an intermediate level and some dancing experience might help, non-dancers (yet) are welcome too!

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact
LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing
With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant
LISC partner GRID Alternatives has been awarded a $249,800,000 Solar for All grant from the EPA to advance renewable and clean energy sources for affordable housing communities across the country. “The grant is an incredible boon to the movement to decarbonize homes and lower energy costs that burden millions of everyday Americans,” said Michael T. Pugh, president and CEO of LISC.
