As the development department prepared the ballroom for Dance of the Two Moons: Roaring Twenties, news came of Tulsa’s first case of COVID-19. The next night, more than 450 guests joined us for an amazing Great Gatsby experience. Little did we know, as we danced and visited with friends, that two weeks later our lives would change.

We are the lucky ones from 2020. Our event made it just in time and we are grateful for all those who joined us on March 7, 2020. A very special thank you to Williams, our presenting sponsor and Griffin Communications, our Circle of Life Community Partner. Jonathan Cooper with News on 6 was an absolute delight to have as emcee.

Our sincere gratitude to Brittany Dias, our Honorary Chair for her dedication to our Native youth. Brittany radiates energy and spirit in everything she does and Dance of the Two Moons was no exception. Joe Don Brave brought more than just inspiration as our featured artist. He and his wife proved to be the bee’s knees on the dance floor as well.

Despite all that was going on in the world, Dance of the Moons was successful because of our donors and sponsors and the incredible staff of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tulsa. IHCRC is truly honored to work with such a dedicated and talented group of people.

As we look toward 2021 we are hopeful that the ballroom will be safely full once again. We have an amazing year planned for you. This year will be all about Peace, Love and Harmony as we take you back to the sixties. Dance of the Two Moons 2021 will be THE event a-go-go. Get ready dudes and dudettes because this is certain to be the most outta sight, far out, fab, unreal, and way out night of the year! No doubt. No auction, lots of dancing, and so many threads to choose for the evening. Peace, Love, and Harmony will blow your mind. From the British invasion to Woodstock, this night will have it all.

As a special treat we are featuring The British Invasion Group. They have been together for over 25 years and have played many theaters and events throughout the country and the world. They had a long running show in Atlantic City and Las Vegas. All members are very experienced musicians and have been involved with some of the biggest Beatles tribute bands in the world, 1964 the Tribute, Come Together, Beatlemania, Yesterday tribute, and many more. They celebrate the music of the 60’s and not just the Beatles but the Who, The Rolling Stones, The Hollies, the Kinks, Dave Clark 5, The Zombies, and you will hear hit after hit with this amazing show!!! With authentic musical equipment of the 60’s and period correct costumes you will be amazed and feel like you went back in a time capsule to celebrate the greatest music of our time.

Please save the date now and stay hopeful that we can be together in person again.

PEACE LO

E AND HARMONY
