Dancing for a Cause!

On July 31, DAC Southaven celebrated National Dance Day by hosting a Dance-a-Thon event benefiting St. Jude Children's Hospital. Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer and judge on the popular show, "So You Think You Can Dance," spearheaded the effort to establish National Dance Day.

Participants at DAC Southaven prepare for the Dance-a-Thon to begin.

More than 40 people of all ages attended the hour-long event led by DAC's Elizabeth Apodaca, Heather Nichols and Brooke Wilson-White, who taught Latin and hip-hop dance routines to participants.

Elizabeth, Heather and Brooke run through the choreography.

The lights are dimmed and the dancing begins!

The group raised $250 for St. Jude Children's Hospital and filmed a choreographed routine to enter to win a spot during an upcoming episode of "So You Think You Can Dance."
