Momentum Workshops 2021,

About the event

Momentum Workshops is an annual event sponsored by Steps PDX that highlights phenomenal women and non-binary movers in Portland, Oregon. All proceeds earned through the workshops go directly to Rose Haven, a Portland day shelter for women, children and non-binary folks experiencing houselessness, trauma, abuse and intersecting issues.

Join us in 2021 for a series of women and non-binary led online dance, healing, and exercise workshops - open to all! Over 20 workshops will be released on our website from February 14, 2021 - March 20, 2021.

Your donation is tax-deductible through our fiscal sponsor, Steps for Youth.

Why should you sponsor?

By sponsoring Momentum Workshops, you are supporting our efforts to raise as much funds as possible for the women, children and non-binary folks that rely on Rose Haven's services as a day shelter, safe space and community center in Portland, Oregon.

Your sponsorship allows us to pay our hard-working women and non-binary artists and movers who have dedicated many hours to making this series of workshops a success. They have offered their expertise on several styles of dance (Hip Hop, Contemporary, Jazz, Dancehall, Flamenco and more!) as well as fitness instructors who have dedicated time to making custom workshops for this event.

Your sponsorship supports our platform which celebrates and elevates phenomenal women and non-binary movers in Portland.

Candice Agahan

Momentum Workshops co-organizers Candice Agahan, Isabel Holmes and Madyson Jones-Slaughter are professional dancers, choreographers and teachers based in the Pacific Northwest. Collectively, they have experience with nonprofit programming and administration, accounting, website coding, graphic design, project management and communications.

This is the third year organizing Momentum Workshops (formerly known as Females+ of February) alongside our sponsor, Steps PDX - a Portland based dance studio. Pre-pandemic, this event was held in person at Steps PDX where 40+ students would fill the room for dance workshops each weekend of February. We transitioned the event to a completely virtual format this year to ensure safety and to continue raising funds for Rose Haven, a day shelter for women, non-binary folks and their children.

In 2020, we were able to raise $3000 for Rose Haven through our workshops. We hope to meet or surpass this fundraising goal again in 2021.
