Dancers will continue to receive our famous "VIP Dance All Access Pass" award cards. In addition, dancers will be presented with a beautiful medal for each routine highlighting the award and the charitable donation of $2 per adjudicated award presented.
Selected Charities
VIP Dance will choose three charities to support each year. More information on each of these charities will be found on our website as the charities are selected. Selected charities will also be featured in our 2008 Program Books. If your studio wishes to select a charity of your own, VIP Dance will be more than happy to make a donation to that charity in the amount earned by your studio.
Donation Totals
Following the competition, charitable studio earnings will be totaled and posted on our website for viewing.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital |
St. Jude is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility anywhere. Discoveries made at St. Jude have completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. St. Jude is where some of today's most gifted researchers are able to do more science, more quickly; where doctors across the world send their toughest cases and most vulnerable patients; where no one pays for treatment beyond what is covered by insurance, and those without insurance are never asked to pay. St. Jude has built America's 3rd-largest health-care charity, with a model that keeps the costs down and the funds flowing, so the science never stops.
