Dance-A-Thon: Across All Decades!
Dance Initiative's 2026 Fundraiser
Lace up your dancing shoes and dust off your best throwback outfit — it's time to dance through the decades! Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, movement, and community as we raise funds for Dance Initiative.
Not a dancer? No problem — come hang out anyway! This event is just as much about community as it is about dancing. Grab a spot, cheer on the competitors, enjoy the live performances, and soak up the party atmosphere. Participation is 100% optional.
📅 Sunday, November 8th | 4:00pm – 7:00pm
📍 Third Street Center Community Hall
💵 $25 Adults | $15 Kids
How It Works
Dance continuously through a playlist spanning every decade and every genre — think pop, rock, Latin, country, techno, even Bollywood! No matter your taste, there's a beat for you. Every three songs, our judges will tap out adult dancers based on:
💪 Endurance — Can you keep the momentum going?
✨ Style — Show us your best moves.
🎵 Versatility — Prove you can groove to any era and any genre.
Kids dance the entire event and won't be eliminated — so bring the whole family!
🏆 Prizes galore! Winners will walk away with more than bragging rights — including a 10-Class Punch Pass for any Dance Initiative class, plus more surprises up our sleeve.
No dance experience required — just bring your energy! Whether you're a trained dancer, someone who just loves to move, or would rather cheer from your seat, everyone is welcome here.
Throughout the night, enjoy live performances from local dance groups and artists between rounds of the dance-a-thon. Whether you want to hit the floor yourself or simply come watch, mingle, and cheer from the sidelines, there's a spot for you at this event — no pressure to compete!
🕺 Dress the part! Come dressed in your favorite decade — 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, or 2010s — and show off your best era-inspired look.
Come dance (or just come dance-adjacent!), cheer on your friends, and support Dance Initiative — one song at a time!
