Dance for a Cause

I knew that my personal passion for service and spreading positivity and kindness needed to be a part of the DMF business model. It is important to me that DMF be more than just an awesome workout experience, but also a company that promotes positive and happy change in the community. This is why I started Dance For a Cause, a special DMF class in which 100% of proceeds goes to a non-profit organization close to my heart. My very first Dance for a Cause will be benefiting The Family Center’s Buddy Program.
Though I have volunteered my whole life in various capacities, I have always wanted to volunteer in a way that allowed me to create a “forever” bond with a child in need. I went on the hunt for great mentoring programs and found The Family Center’s Buddy Program.
Last fall, I became a mentor to an amazing young girl named Jennifer. From the moment we met, we clicked. Jennifer and I both knew we had found something special. Jennifer LOVES to dance and you will often find us “dance-walking” down the street to the latest tunes. Though we have only been together a few months, we have shared many amazing experiences and I can see such a positive change in her. She is a bright light in my life and I look forward to her big smiles and warm hugs.
Leaving the world more awesome than I found it has always been a passion of mine. I have always believed that one person can make a difference, especially if that one person inspires others to do the same. Soon, the small change becomes big.
