Perform-A-Thon Raises
Funds for Your Studio: On
Saturday, April 29, 2006,
in celebration of National Dance Week, thousands of dance
students across the United States will be attempting to set a
World Record for the most people performing in one hour
simultaneously across the country. They will also be raising
money for Project
Action Foundation to prevent juvenile crime
and get more children involved in Performing Arts Programs.
Project Action, founded in October 1994, is a national
award-winning children’s charity whose mission is to prevent
juvenile crime by providing disadvantaged and “at-risk”
children the opportunity to become involved in physical,
cultural and performing arts programs. Project Action is
currently working with over 3,500 gymnastics, martial arts and
dance studios. Project Action
provides each studio with
simple to use Perform-A-Thon kits containing
color poster, pledge sheets, press releases, parent and
participant instructions and prizes for participating
students. Project Action also
provides each participating
studio with an Event Specialist who will lead
each studio, step by step, through the National Dance Week
World Record Perform-A-Thon, being held at their studio. These
specialists help each studio obtain media coverage, local
government recognition and motivating their students. The
Project Action Event Specialist also applies on behalf of each
participating studio for matching funds from such corporations
as Wal-Mart and Target. The
funds raised at each participating studio returns to that
studio in the form of tuition for
disadvantaged children. For more information or to receive
your free National Dance Week World Record Perform-A-Thon
Fundraising Kit, please call toll free 888-343-5437 and/or

The 5th Annual
Mid-Michigan National Dance Week (MMNDW)
celebration begins
April 21st at
Westwood Mall in Jackson,
Michigan. Mid-Michigan expands it's efforts
this year and takes NDW to Lansing, the state Capital! On
Saturday, April 29th,
the NDW Rose City Rosettes Kickline will perform at the first
annual "Kickline at
the Capital"; later that day, the same group
will help kick off a 2nd weekend of performances at the
Lansing Mall.
The NDW Rose City Rosettes is a new group this year and is
made up of 25 local dancers dedicated to promoting the mission
of NDW. NDW events began in Jackson in April 2002 and it has
been the current State Director's, Linda Busche, vision to
take it to the Capital since its beginning. The events at both
malls will feature performances by local dance and performing
arts studios. Much effort is being put forth to involve
additional ethnic style dance groups, with special focus on
ballroom. Any dance
group wishing to perform at either of these
locations should
contact Linda Busche at the number above. The
past events have featured up to 17 studios representing over
600 dancers and 3000 spectators. Participating studios are
encouraged to promote themselves via recital videos, photo
display boards and flyers listing their classes. Each event
will also feature the NDW Children’s Spokescharacter,
Angelina Ballerina™,
Storytimes and a "Parade and Dance-n-Play" program. There will
be several other activities for dancer's including the popular
"I Love Dance Because...." a short essay contest, a special
Angelina Ballerina™
coloring contest. Contacts have been made with our local media
and we may be featured on one of their ˝-hour segments. The
goal of the Mid-Michigan National Dance Week committee is to
present an opportunity for all dance and performing arts
studios to showcase their talent and let our community know
just how beneficial dance can be for anyone. There are
performance times still available for both events so anyone
interested should contact Linda as soon as possible.
