To read more about how we got involved in giving back to charities please read the following.

Back when my parents owned their own business they donated to different children’s hospitals and the Ronald McDonald House every year. These charities were near and dear to their hearts. Continuing their tradition our 2008 recital "Dancing for Freedom" was dedicated to all those who protect and serve our country. The dancers collected and donated calling cards to our troops. In 2009, our dancers performed for such charities as the Make A Wish Foundation, Breast Cancer Awareness, and the Ronald McDonald House. Our 2009 Recital dance recital rose over $1000 for the Ronald McDonald House Children's Charity. The 2010 charity was Ryan’s Quest. We are truly honored that we had the opportunity to help make difference for such an amazing family.

Keeping my parents tradition alive, I am honored to say that every year a different charity will be recognized and we will do all we can to help raise money and awareness. We don’t know what charities all of our dancers will help make a difference in the future, but all of them are worthwhile causes.

Thank you for your help and continued support to help better the lives of those who are less fortunate than us. Hopefully, one day teaching our kids how to love and appreciate how fortunate we are will make a difference in all their lives.

Our 2010-2011 Charity of Choice was "The Sunshine Foundation".
