The Dance Corner Brings Connecticut Dancers Together for a Benefit Concert
Killingworth, CT – The Dance Corner presents the 2nd annual Dancing From the Heart, a concert to benefit Child Life at Yale New Haven Children’s hospital at 4pm on Saturday, October 13, 2018 at the Clinton Town Hall Auditorium, 54 East Main St, Clinton.
The show will feature performances from Connecticut dance companies including, Sonia Plumb Dance, Ballet Hartford, Ballroom Dancin’ Fools, River Valley Dance Project, Farmington Valley Dance and Music and Moxie Dance. Students from The Dance Corner will also perform. All proceeds from the concert will be donated to the Child Life Department at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital.
Child Life at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital helps children cope with the adjustments of being in a hospital by providing a variety of play experiences. These activities help both children and families gain a greater understanding of medical procedures, which helps reduce stress and fear of the unknown. Money raised by this concert will directly benefit pediatric patients at Yale.
Carrie Smith, director of The Dance Corner said, “ It has been a long time dream of mine to bring professional and student dancers from our community together for a performance to benefit those in need. Part of our mission at The Dance Corner is to promote dance in our community and to give back. This event will do both. Last year this event raised more than $2000 for Child Life. We hope to exceed that this year.”
Tickets to the Dancing From the Heart show are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. Tickets include a post show reception and meet-and-greet with the dancers, and light refreshments. Tickets can be purchased in advance at The Dance Corner, 206 Route 80, Killingworth or at the door. The program should run about 90 minutes.
