What people are saying about DFAC 2011

"I loved Dancing for a Cure. It really meant a lot to me even though I don't know anyone who has cancer. I loved it because I knew that I was doing something that would help somebody, someday. I think it's sad when somebody has cancer and I love that we are helping to give them a second chance". - A 12 year old DFAC dancer

My husband and I were quite moved by the event your studio hosted, as we have family members who were blessed with cancer survival and those who were not so fortunate.

What wonderful and inspirational role models you and your team are for the young girls in your studio. Thank you for your efforts in the fight against cancer.

And, thank you for your kind words regarding Danielle. I was proud that she was able to participate in such an important fund raiser and charity.

...... While the performances were going on, it was so moving to watch not only the artists themselves, but the look on the Committee members’ faces, eyes filled with tears, with a mix of empathy and pride shining through. Each member was totally immersed in the big picture of what they were a part of. Knowing that Karen would see the evening performance made everything that much more poignant.
During the performance there was a speech that highlighted the symptoms and stark statistics of ovarian cancer and its prognosis. For an instant I felt alone with my own battle. It was only an instant, because I suddenly felt the committee member on my left take and hold my hand, and the committee member on my right put an arm around me. My fear turned into a feeling of protection and support. That moment epitomizes for me what DFAC is all about, and the immense difference DFAC is making for all of us. No matter what your role – performer, technical crew member, committee member, parent, cancer survivor, caretaker, someone presently battling cancer, someone who has lost a loved one to cancer, or an audience member – you are forever changed, enriched by being a part of Dancing For A Cure, and connected to a powerful voice for change.

I am grateful for livestream as the technology allowed me to watch a performance I was unable to attend in person. The performance was absolutely fabulous, and I can only imagine how exciting it must have been in the auditorium. The dancers were professional and extraordinarily talented, Elaine Weldan’s narrative accompanied by her granddaughter gave meaning to your efforts, and the musicians were an unexpected delight.
Thanks so very much to you and all the dancers and volunteers for making adifference. Through your work, you have given many women hope for the future and another blessed holiday.

Peter and I watched every second of Dancing For A Cure 2011. I want to tell you about a late friend of mine who never used the words fabulous, superb, wonderful, beautiful, great or meaningful when she was over the top impressed with something - her word was "positively".
Your production of Dancing For A Cure 2011 that we saw tonite was positively. Thank you for all you do and the Friends are so lucky to have a member who is so dedicated.

Great show! You must be proud to be a part of something which does so much good. I was in tears too many times during the show. I loved the girl who sang Hallelujah. Her voice was phenomenal.
