Integral Ballet Links Charitable Efforts with Dreas Dream
Integral Ballet is proud to announce their partnership with Drea's Dream, a project by The Andréa Rizzo Foundation that raises funds to help children with cancer and special needs. The foundations fosters Andréa’s dreams of providing dance therapy to children with cancer and special education needs. A non-profit corporation, the Foundation is dedicated to the growth and success of Dréa’s Dream, a dance therapy/expressive movement program for pediatric and young adult populations in hospitals, special education classrooms and medical settings throughout the country. The Andréa Rizzo Foundation is the only 501(c)(3) non profit organization in the United States that provides grants that directly fund dance/movement therapy programming exclusively for children with cancer and special needs. Programs are led by registered Dance/Movement Therapists (DTRs or ADTRs) . In addition, the Foundation funds expressive movement programs for the same pediatric population under the direction of dance professionals of the highest caliber.
Proceeds raised by Integral Ballet's Midsummer's Eve Performance taking place on April 5th at the Brookside School in Merrick will sponsor dance/therapy for 5 children with cancer and/or special needs.
Miss Allison Klein, staff instructor at Integral Ballet and certified Creative Movement Therapist, says this a wonderful program with which to get involved. "Members of the Foundations spoke at the American Dance Therapy Association conference a few years ago," she said. "It's for a really great cause. They fund many different dance therapy programs including the pediatric dance therapy program at Sloan Kettering."
