Welcome to Give To The Max!     Haven't registered yet? Facebook or Google Close

Of course you can! Give up something today and give back to a great cause - making dance for everyone.

Dance has always been a part of my life. I took classes at Sandra Marie's School of Ballet in my hometown of Melrose, MA. I danced with DanceWorks during my time at Syracuse University. I was a member of Tribe, The Dance Company, while I was living in Boston. And now I am the Marketing and PR Manager at Joy of Motion Dance Center in DC.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have the opportunity to dance; but by donating just $10 on November 9th, 2011 to Joy of Motion Dance Center, you can really make a difference. Your small contribution can help us win our share of $100,000 in cash awards during Give to the Max Day. A prize like that can go a long way in supporting our outreach initiatives including Step Ahead, a free summer dance training and job skills program for DC teens, and Seniors in Motion, which provides free interactive classes for senior citizens.

What will you give up today in order to give back?
