Dance Across America
DANCE ACROSS AMERICA® – DANCERS DANCING FOR DRÉA’S DREAM
What is Dance Across America®?
Dance Across America® – Dancers Dancing for Dréa’s Dream is a concept designed to support Dréa’s Dream, a pediatric dance therapy/expressive movement program benefiting children with cancer and special needs in pediatric hospitals across the country as well as Ronald McDonald Houses and public schools.
It is a unique way of combining DANCE and COMPASSION to help children with cancer and special needs. All dancers will have a chance to make a difference in the lives of fragile children by simply holding any kind of dance event:
- a benefit performance
- a dance party
- a dance-a-thon and collect pledges for as many (took out as few) hours of dance as they would like. (Top 3 National Dance-a-thon Pledge Raisers win dance wear ensembles from the renowned Moret Company!)
- or – make it the recital’s charitable focus
Be creative! Hold any kind of meaningful dance event that you’d like!
