Dear Community,

Like many of you, we have been disappointed with the recent changes at Twitter, including the layoffs of Twitter's entire Accessibility Experience Team, Human Rights Team, and other essential services for the disability community and beyond.

[AXIS Dance Company @AXISDanceCo]

As our values cannot align with those of the current Twitter management, we will no longer be using this website for updates on our company. We hope you'll join us online over at https://t.co/hN7lhlDwCv, https://t.co/lTNEJAS5ZV and https://t.co/DP5qoVDQEn.
