Remember, ALL dance studios that raise the $25,000+ for the current NYC Dance Alliance Foundation National Fundraising Campaign will be flown to NYC – all expenses paid - to participate in this special program. The TOP TWO studios will perform a piece of their own in the program. In addition, every $3,000 raised allows one dancer to attend the private September 4th College Scholarship Audition - no limits.
The current fundraising campaign ends June 30th, 2012. See the National Fundraising Campaign for details.
This will be an exciting evening and an entertainment extravaganza!
