Lucy Wallace is a dancer who has spent a lot of time in prison. That’s because Wallace, the co-founder of Dance to Be Free, travels the country teaching dance classes to incarcerated women to help them cope with depression, despair, PTSD, and complex trauma.
Wallace taught her first classes at the Denver Women’s Correctional Facility in 2015 at the suggestion of friends and the following year began branching out to other prisons. Despite her assumption that most prisons would turn her away, not one has.
