Get to know the dancers of For A Good Cause!

For A Good Cause debuts in less than two weeks, and the dancers have been working so hard! Throughout the past seven weeks, we have exerted 58 hours to rehearsals alone, and many of the dancers have tacked on these hours in addition to their regular busy dance schedules.

Here is what the dancers say they like about the show:


-It is a lot different than anything I have ever been in.
~Jordan D. of Animal Rights, Autism Awareness, and Gay Rights


-I feel as though I have improved in my dancing! Thank you, Bethany!
~Peyton J. of Autism Awareness, Aquatic Animal Rights, and Pro-Life


-I have learned about the causes other people have.
~Rachel D. of Autism Awareness, Aquatic Animal Rights, and finding the Cure of Cancer


-It's nothing like I've ever done before and it has stretched me as a dancer.
~Natalie Lynn C. of Preventing Drug & Alcohol Abuse, Aquatic Animal Rights, and Green Earth


Here is what else the dancers have to say about the show:


This show has helped me understand emotion more within dancing and has taught me that bad things can happen in this world, but good things can come out of it. Thanks, Bethany, for teaching me lessons about some challenges we face!
~Taylor G. of American Heart Association, American Red Cross, Military Support, and Riley Hospital for Children


I used to not understand why cancer or abuse was so important, but with the help of Bethany, I've learned the errors of these ways. I know that bad things can happen to good people, and that disaster can happen at bad moments.
~Tori W. of Animal Rights and Military Support


A note from the director about the dancers:
The emotional content in this show can be so heavy and difficult to face at times that it is absolutely astounding how well these girls perform with such passion and power. It is amazing to watch them, and some of them are so young, it's incredible how talented they are. They have been such a blessing to teach, rehearse, and spend every free moment of the weekend with in the dance studio, prepping for this show. The work that each of them has exerted is beyond anything I had hoped for, and they really are such wonderful dancers. I cannot thank them enough for being part of this show and making it what it is with all of their dedication and commitment to dancing. Thank you to my unbelievable performers! You have no idea how talented you are.
