Proceeds benefit Ballet Austin, a 501 (c) 3 organization. Ballet Austin provides two special programs in underserved Austin schools – Dance in the Classroom and Leaps and No Bounds. Both of these programs serve Title I schools where many of the students are considered "at risk", meaning that if these children are not provided opportunities in a structured environment, they are not likely to graduate from high school. Dance matters! We also provide programming at no cost to women recovering from breast cancer and to older adults at risk for falls. Our missions aligns with that of the Dizzy Feet Foundation to keep people active. Launched in 2010 by “So You Think You Can Dance” (SYTYCD) co-creator and DFF co-president Nigel Lythgoe, National Dance Day is an annual celebration that takes place on the last Saturday in July. This grassroots campaign encourages Americans to embrace dance as a fun and positive way to maintain good health and fight obesity. NDD achieved national recognition when Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), a long-time proponent of healthy lifestyles, announced at a press conference on July 31, 2010, in Washington, D.C., that she was introducing a congressional resolution declaring the last Saturday in July to be the country’s official NDD.
