Hi friends and family! Please help me reach my goal of $300 for the California Dance Institute’s 3rd Annual Dance-a-thon FUNdraiser. Since I started working here, I have seen up close how meaningful it is for students to have consistent access to dance, especially in schools where arts programs are often limited or unavailable. CDI brings free, high-quality dance education directly into public schools, giving students space to move, create, and build confidence together. Every donation supports teaching artists, live music, and performances that allow students to experience what it feels like to be seen as artists. I am so grateful for any support you can give–thank you for helping make this work possible!🩷
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!
