In this episode of Nonprofit Spotlight, Stephanie Engs talks with Nanette Robinson, co-founder and artistic director of Zuzi Dance, a Tucson arts nonprofit celebrating its 26th year. Nanette shares how Zuzi Dance fosters personal expression and healing through movement, blending somatic practice, modern dance, and their distinctive approach to aerial arts.
Nanette highlights the organization’s community-centered philosophy, from classes and workshops to their long-running Winter Solstice Celebration. The celebration is an annual performance that invites dancers, musicians, poets, and first-time performers to explore themes of darkness, light, and renewal. Nanette also offers a look at Zuzi’s upcoming season, including aerial and somatic classes, modern dance offerings, and their Solstice Community Workshop.
