A HAPPY HOLIDAY SPECIAL FROM BOSTON DANCE ALLIANCE

 

Just in time for holiday recitals and Nutcracker performances — and the winter semester at schools and studios!

 

How it works

• Any BDA member who knows of financially disadvantaged dancers who need dancewear can participate.  Not a member yet? Join now
• Choose up to three lots of merchandise. Send your requests to rbarthelmy@bostondancealliance.org YOU CANNOT CHERRY PICK — you must take the entire lot.
• Deadline is Sunday, December 8 at midnight. 
• On Monday, December 9, 2019, we will pull names from a hat. When necessary, we rebalance merchandise to insure that everyone who participates gets something.
• You promise that you will not a) sell the goods b) if there is something left over (because no one is the right size) you will hang onto it for the next needy dancer.
• We will announce winners on December 10 and you can arrange to pick up the free dancewear at our office, 19 Clarendon Street in the South End!

The BDA Dancewear distribution program happens once or twice a year,  but you can get free costumes for your shows and recitals all year round!

 

 

Boston Dance Alliance has partnered with From Our Hearts to Your Toes, a Long Island, New York based organization that collects gently worn dance costumes from extra small child to adult extra-large sizes

To date, From Our Hearts to Your Toes supports over 70 organizations including Arts & Education programs at Alvin Ailey, Ballet Hispanico, The Fresh Air Fund, Girls and Boys Clubs, and YMCA programs.

They do not sell any of the costumes and do not provide costumes to single individuals, just dance programs.

It’s easy to participate!

Write to heartstotoes@gmail.com with the code BDA

• Make a request on school/dance program letterhead or include the name of your organization with a website link to demonstrate you are an organization/school working to help children. You do not have to be a registered nonprofit.
• Provide as much information as possible  — number of costumes in each size, style, color, and if you know it, the music you are using or feeling you are looking for. They will “shop” their 5000 square foot warehouse in Hicksville, New York to try to match your request.
• Allow at least three-weeks to receive your costumes.
• The costumes and shipping are free!

This program is open to both current BDA members and other dance studios and organizations across the area.

We can’t provide such wonderful resources to our dancers without your support!
