CDI's 3rd annual Dance-a-thon FUNdraiser!
Organized by Susan Gladstone
đź’• A Message from Susan:
Please help me reach my $3,000 FUNdraising goal for California Dance Institute (CDI), ensuring that over 150 public school children from across greater Los Angeles get to perform in a professional theater, backed by a nine-piece band. It's an opportunity of a lifetime! We know that arts education transforms the lives of young people. Help CDI continue to provide the quality arts education that ALL children deserve. Well rounded children grow up to be well rounded adults. We should all want this!
It's CDI's 25th anniversary - let's Celebrate!
Help CDI raise $30,000 so our dancers can take the stage not once, but twice at Glendale’s historic Alex Theatre! This year marks 25 years of bringing dance, music, and joy to public school students across greater Los Angeles. Our anniversary theme, Celebrate!, promises to be a spectacular crowd-pleaser.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of this milestone celebration. Please donate today—it’s quick and easy!
If you're in Los Angeles you can even join us for our annual Dance-a-thon FUNdraiser on February 21, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. During this high-energy event, CDI students and staff will create an original dance that will premiere at our Event of the Year Gala in May.
Scroll through the photos and video above to see highlights from last year’s Dance-a-thon and experience the joy firsthand.
Together, we can ensure that every child has the opportunity to experience the lasting benefits of quality arts education.
Thank you for your continued support!
