What is the Dance-a-thon?

The Dance-A-Thon is a 24 hour swing dance that takes place in Orange County, California. The mission: to raise as much money as possible to help fund cancer research and treatment at City of Hope Hospital. All of the participants, board members, bands, teachers, DJ’s, and performers are unpaid volunteers. The 2010 Dance-A-Thon will take place March 13-14 from noon to noon.

The 24 hour Cancer Dance-A-Thon features:

Live music from bands that play Swing, Big Band, and Jazz music. Dance lessons from world class instructors. DJ’d music from some of the dance community’s most popular DJ’s. Performances from local dance teams. Contests that are fun for everybody. A pasta dinner and a continental breakfast – yum!
