DONATIONS
DONATIONS MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE!
We LOVE to help, and you can too!
Dance Happy accepts donations of any type of dancewear, activewear, shoes, accessories and costumes year round! Even outdated, damaged, worn or mismatched items can be of use somewhere.
All donations are donated back out into our community for dance families in need!
Class appropriate dancewear and shoes are cleaned, repaired if needed and donated to local studios and programs to use in their swap / borrow bins. Costumes are cleaned, repaired or used to create something new and sold with proceeds donated to local recreational dance programs’ scholarship funds to help dance families who are in need of a little help with their tuition.
Add yourself to our email newsletter below to be notified of our upcoming donation pickup days! We pickup donations directly from both residences and studios!
PLEASE NOTE WE HAVE PAUSED PICKUPS FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS AS WE HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMED BY THE GENEROSITY OF OUR PATRONS AND NEED SOME TIME TO ORGANIZE MORE SPACE!!
DONATIONS CAN STILL BE DROPPED OFF TO OUR WORKSHOP!
DROP OFF LOCATION:

DONATING HELPS IN MANY WAYS!
- Class dancewear attire donations help kids can feel included in class and lets them dress for success no matter their financial status and some basic dancewear can be used to turn into costumes for rectials as well!
- Costume donations are distributed to non-profit and school dance and theatre programs at no charge. Costumes are also sold at our workshop on a donate-what-you-can basis with all proceeds going into our scholarship fund to help cover tutition for recreational dance programs with students that would otherwise not have a chance to dance
- Donating helps your own family by clearing closet space to keep your home tidy and clutter (and glitter!) free!
