The Andréa Rizzo Foundation continues to spread the gift of dance/movement far and wide. Dréa’s Dream, a dance/movement therapy program for children with cancer and special needs is now helping children at 10 different facilities across the country. In addition to the list below, we are in the planning stages and hope to begin bringing the gift of dance/movement therapy to children at Cedars-Sinai iMedical Center in Los Angeles, CA as a “gift back” for receiving the support of so many wonderful people at Dancing With the Stars, based in LA. We also look forward to reaching children with special needs at the Garden City Middle School in NY as a thank you to this supportive community. We are thrilled that so many embrace our cause!
