Dance for Life Nonprofit and Saint Sheetz
Dance for Life Suicide Prevention & Good Mental Health nonprofit began in 2018 by Kristin Barlow the founder of SuperEZ LLC dba Saint Sheetz. After creating and running dance and performing arts in both California and Utah for 30 years, it was time to retire from the many years of teaching both young and old the beauty and joy of dance. When contemplating retirement, she was stunned to hear of a suicide by a young man in her hometown and was even more saddened to hear suicides were up for young people not only in Utah but worldwide.
Knowing the therapeutic properties of dance and the ability of the performing arts to reduce stress, relieve anxiety, express self and create endorphins for greater joy, Kristin decided her next step in life would be to form a nonprofit to help those who struggle with mental health issues and use dance and the performing arts as a tool to improve overall wellbeing.
With suicide awareness events now in both Utah and Florida with plans for nationwide expansion, its mission is to bring awareness to suicide and its root causes, implement preventive programs and events, eliminate the stigma of mental health and increase access to mental health resources through dance and the performing arts.
To help fund these important initiatives, Kristin decide to create this wonderful patent-pending bed sheet design called Saint Sheetz hoping to donate a portion of each sale to this important nonprofit. Now Saint Sheetz has partnered with Dance for Life to help with its efforts to improve and save lives through its innovative and grassroots programs.
