Dance-A-Thon!

This Saturday, ShoeBox Studios is hosting a Dance-A-Thon benefit for the studio & CARE.org.

Here's the deal:
Kick off the new year by dancing, sweating, and shaking it for a great cause! ShoeBox Studio is hosting it's first ever Dance-A-Thon! On January 12th, from 10AM-8PM, every ShoeBox class will be offered in a 30-45 minute sample format. Classes will run back to back as a "marathon".

Dancers who would like to dance but not collect pledges may still participate by simply making a $12-20 sliding scale donation at the door.

You can view a class schedule for the day and download a pledge sheet here: www.shoeboxsf.com/events.html

This is an awesome opportunity to try out every class the studio offers, and do it all for free, with the help of your pledges!

CARE.org will be donating their signature "I Am Powerful" t-shirt to the person who dances the longest! Also, for every hour you dance, there is a donor who will give $5 to CARE.org, helping us raise funds for CARE! Register your time spent dancing here: www.care.org/features/workout/index.asp

CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives. Donation will be made in the name of ShoeBox Studio Student Community.

If you'd like to come, but your nervous about your stamina - you DO NOT have to dance the whole time nonstop! You can pick and choose what classes you'd like to take, as we will be logging your time throughtout the whole day.

The top 3 Dance-A-Thoner's will be mentioned on the ShoeBox Site, Blog, and in our February newsletter.
