About

WILL DANCE FOR KIDS is a project designed to raise funds for children’s charities through dance and dance competitions. When dancers compete they show the world the art, talents and skills they have learned. When they compete to make a difference in the lives of other kids, they learn something even more important, the art of giving. And when that happens, everyone wins!
