Why I Dance: "I dance so that kids can have a normal school experience - so they don’t have to be pulled out of school all the time for doctor’s appointments or spend way too much time in a hospital room. I dance so that kids can be kids; they can have sleepovers, birthday parties, and endless laughs. I dance for all of our kiddos and their families - to support them financially and emotionally."
The Alumni Engagement Committee is in its third year It involves interaction and communication with SAU Dance Marathon Alumni.
Duties include planning events, communicating with SAU professional staff especially the Alumni House and Alumni Moral Captains.
The main purpose is to help SAUDM Alumni stay involved with this wonderful organization.
