Why the Name?
There are many groups out there that use names similar to our name with similar goals, performing all types of dancing for a particular cause. Some names include: Dancing for the Cause, Zumbathon, Danceathon, Dancing for Diabetes, Salsa for a Cure, Steppin for the Cause, just to name a few. However, Dancin 4 a Cure Inc. has been INCORPORATED in the state of Virginia and authorized by the IRS as a 501c3 non-profit organization. That means that all donations will be tax deductible.
There are also countless organizations that raise funds for homeless children and families, hunger, and veterans. So why do we raise funds? We have been asked "what cure" we are dancing for. Our philosophy is instead of specifying a definite cause, "a cure" could be any cause to raise funds for a charitable health or dance organization. That way our total efforts can have more of a philanthropist impact on the Hampton Roads area by supporting all types of events that promote good health including breast cancer events, all other types of cancer, dance events that emphasize exercise through dancing, etc.
Our goal is to hold different activities that will benefit the Hampton Roads community which may include health fairs and/or National Day of Dance events, all while enjoying the art of dancing. Although our main forte is soul line dancing which we will carry out through our partner, Hampton Roads Soul Steppers, Dancin 4 a Cure supports dance activities in general as a source of good physical activity, such as National Dance Day and Flash Mobs.
