YORKTON - It was all about raising funds for Creative Kids as Dance Innovations re-launched its popular Dance-a-thon event.
As part of our Year of IMPACT, the Yorkton-based dance club’s March theme of Community Connection focused on being a part of the community through volunteerism, performance and being an example of a positive citizen. The Dance-a-thon was one opportunity where dancers were able to make their IMPACT on the community as they shared their talents and took part in a day of dance with their friends.
This year, the Dance-a-thon focused on raising funds in support of Creative Kids.
Creative Kids is a charitable program that funds Saskatchewan children who want to take part in music or dance lessons, learn to paint, act, or join a number of other creative pursuits in their community.
Dance participants were thankful for all this art form has given to them, and it is important they continue to give back to the dance community.
Many of the Dance Innovations dancers know children involved with this charity and the dance instructors have seen, year-after-year, how children benefit from this wonderful program. Every child should have the opportunity to dance and Creative Kids ensures that this is a reality.
On Saturday, March 25, volunteers and partners from the community joined the studio to bring classes in every genre along with yoga, drama, cheer and some cultural dancing. More than 30 dancers were in attendance.
Dance Innovations would also like to thank our many prize sponsors from the community who donated gifts for dancers who achieved a high level of pledges.
The event raised $7000 for Creative Kids and the studio is proud of students and families for donating their time for the benefit of others.
