“It’s better to light a candle than curse the darkness”
– Tori Drew
Local Dance Artist / One Dance UK
“Here’s a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don’t worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don’t worry, be happy
Don’t worry, be happy now“
– Shelley Eva Haden Dance Artist / BDN Marketeer
Inspired by Tony’s dad who listens to this song every morning since being quarantined.
