What is BCA’s Dance-A-Thon?

The Dance-A-Thon is a fundraiser for Burlington City Arts and a celebration of the individuals in our community who help make our efforts possible. Teams and individuals raise money in the weeks leading up to the Dance-A-Thon to be sponsored to dance. The Dance-a-thon is a way to show your support for BCA and help raise funds and awareness for our children's art education programs.


How Does The Dance-A-Thon Work?

Participants form teams made up of co-workers, friends, etc, or raise money individually. Each participant then creates a fundraising page at www.firstgiving.com/bca and finds people to sponsor them with a donation to Burlington City Arts. On the day of the Dance-A-Thon, the area’s hottest DJ’s will play sets along with special guest stars/fundraisers from the community. You choose how to participate in the event – by yourself, with a team it’s up to you! And if you can’t be at the event, you are still encouraged to participate!


What Does This Fundraiser Support?

100% of the proceeds from this event will directly support Burlington City Arts Children’s Art Education Programming:




Mentor Arts
-
Pairing at-risk youth in our community with supportive, encouraging adult mentors, Mentor Arts allows children to build self-esteem and creative expression. Mentor Arts helps young people gain the skills and confidence to be responsible for their own future.

Early Arts- Through the BCA Education program, Head Start, and various partnerships with community organizations, Early Arts incorporates the arts into the curriculum of area pre-schools by bringing professional artists to the classroom setting who approach the concept of literacy through lessons in visual arts, music, dance and drama.

Summer Camp Scholarship Program- BCA’s extensive Summer Art Camp program never turns away a student by providing partial and full scholarships to families in need. Students create and learn with art at one of BCA’s professional studios located at Memorial Auditorium and the Firehouse Center on Church Street.

Gallery Education Program, See.Think.Do! - This gallery education program invites youth and adults to the Firehouse Center for an interactive arts experience. Visits last approximately 1–1.5 hours and begin in the gallery with open-ended questioning, discussion and hands-on activities. Visits conclude in the studio classroom where students will create their own original artwork to take home.
