***NEW DATE***
Join us for an unforgettable 24 hours of movement, music, and magic as we come together to raise funds for our beloved Kanan’s unfunded breast cancer treatment.
Last month, Kanan received the shock of her life when she was diagnosed with HER2 positive breast cancer, an aggressive sub-type of breast cancer that can spread and grow rapidly. Unfortunately, the targeted treatment isn't funded, and Kanan is looking at costs of approx $35,000-$40,000.
This is more than just a dance event — it’s a celebration of her community, strength, and the power of showing up.
We’ve rallied an insanely talented team of 20+ dance professionals, each donating their time and energy to teach a class. From hip hop to heels, contemporary to line-dancing — there’s something for everyone.
Thanks to the generosity of Hannah from Sweet Studios, we’ll be dancing non-stop on the Kapiti Coast, and we want YOU to be part of it!
