Dance for a Cause: Artists for Brighter Days

4838 Southpoint Pkwy, Fredericksburg, VA, United States

Dance Matrix & Company, the Fairy Godmother Project, & CM Dance...


On March 15th, 2024 four of our CM Dance students were invited to perform pieces at "Artists for BRIGHTER DAYS." It was an evening filled with talented performing artists from the Fredericksburg region that benefited the Fairy Godmother Project, which is a local nonprofit organization that supports families in Fredericksburg who are trying to cope with pediatric cancer.


Tylen and Kylah performed their self-choreographed contemporary duo "Footprints," Aubrey performed her contemporary solo "The Real Me," and Kahlan sang "I Have a Dream" at the invitation of Mrs. Beverly Mendez in the Dance Matrix & Company Emerging Artists Program. Ms. Beverly is the Founder and Artistic Director of Dance Matrix & Company, which hosted the event at the downtown Fredericksburg branch of the Central Rappahannock Regional Library. Kahlan also performed with Dance Matrix & Company as Kyla, in their original piece titled "Quest of the Dream Warrior."


Each of our CM Dance students were grateful for an opportunity to not only dance, but dance for such a great cause. We hope to be invited to participate in the years to come!
