​Dance It Out

Dance It Out’s – Pay It Forward Challenge

“Every charitable act is a stepping stone towards heaven.” – Henry Ward Beecher

At Dance It Out, we feel that a mixture of strong dance technique, good grades and service to our community will build high self-esteem among our dancers.  By paying it forward, students learn how to organize a project, give back to the community, learn compassion, and learn how to set a goal and achieve.

Here is how it works: The Pay It Forward bulletin board will display fliers for all of our current projects. These projects will have bins located in the office to collect all of the donated items. Each bin will have a label posting items that are being collected. These items are things that we often have in our homes. For example: canned goods, toiletries, etc. There are usually multiple projects going on at the same time.

Each time you contribute: When you have items to donate, drop them off in the office and an office staff member will fill out a service society slip for you. With each item you donate, you will be awarded points. You can also earn points by participating in charitable events outside of the dance studio, such as helping with a food drive or picking up trash.  Before you know it, these points will add up! At the end of the year the dancer with the most points gets an award to celebrate their giving.  All dancers who participate will receive a prize at the end of the year!

Hosting a project: To host a project, please complete the following steps: 

1. Fill out the application included with these guidelines and turn it into the office. Please apply no later than 2 weeks prior to the start of your project. This allows us to properly prepare and promote your project. The can be emailed to: danceitoutstudios@gmail.com.

2. Email a flyer so that it can be posted online. Also, bring in two printed flyers to post in the studio.

3. You will receive confirmation of the approval of your service project, and a bin will be placed in the office. Each time you come to the studio, check your bin and take items collected home. This ensures that all items get to you and keeps your bin from overflowing. 

4. Tell all your friends about the project. 

5. When the project is complete, please pick up the remaining donations and any other items specific to your project. 

6. Please email any photos of your project. We would love to use these on our website and social media! 

7. Please understand that the office staff is not responsible for any loss or damage to items for sale on the counter.

 

We will provide the following:

Once we receive your application and it has been approved, the studio will provide the following: 

1. A bin in the office for collections 

2. A space on the bulletin board for your flyer       

3. Information on the website, newsletter, and on social media.
