The Holiday Benefit Dance is always a highlight of our year at The Moving Center School. Yes, the name is a little ambiguous — it is a dance / social event sponsored by the school to celebrate our community and to raise money to benefit others. We dance, talk, eat, donate, and bid on auction items provided by talented, generous members of our community.

New this year: an expanded auction, incredible live drumming and music with Tandamanzi (if you’ve ever danced with them, you know they’re not to be missed), and twice the space for all this spirit.

Last year we raised over $12,000 in 3 hours! One hundred percent of funds raised are donated internationally, locally, and to individuals in our community. This year we will send our spirit and dollars to:

• Support the Lost Boys and Lost Girls of Darfur who have been orphaned and displaced by years of violent conflict
• Glide Memorial Church: our 15th year supporting Glide, providing thousands of meals and places of shelter every day
• Dance Without Borders: Lucie Nerot’s second year bringing the 5Rhythms to teenagers in remote villages in Cambodia.
• Several individuals in our own movement community who are facing life-threatening illness and overwhelming medical bills.
