WILL DANCE FOR KIDS PROJECT is designed to raise funds to fight childhood hunger through dance. When dancers perform they show the world the art, talents and skills they have learned. When they dance and 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!
