Danza! Performing Arts Academy of Fredonia recently participated in the annual “Dancers Give Back” Charity performance in Buffalo.

For 14 years the studio’s dance company, Danzaco has joined forces with Buffalo area studios raising money for local Pediatric cancer research and patient support in our area. Over $700,000 has been raised prior to this year.

Danzaco performed two new dances in the Dancers Give Back Showcase. Up first, “Stars” an upbeat jazz dance followed by an old-school hip-hop dance to “Space Jam.” In addition to performance dancers may take master classes and participate in a variety of fund-raising activities. The event runs for two consecutive days.
