“[It’s about] connecting to a collective compassion, like Shumka. It’s so important to have this connection, even with a handful of people, that you can trust, and be trustingly courageous…compassionate…and giving.”

Ed Paproski is one of Shumka’s Senior dancers, and a shining example of the lifelong joy and happiness Shumka has brought so many over the last sixty years. A fervent supporter and generous donor, Ed’s passion for Shumka is evident in his words, actions, and energy in and out of the studio. Thank you, Ed.
