Spread the Love: DanceFx Presents a Night of Hip-Hop, Burlesque, and Love

Spreading the Love to the Athens Area Homeless

 

DanceFx at Five Points presents “Spread the Love,” a charitable dance extravaganza to take place Wednesday, February 16 at 8 pm at the 40 Watt Club.

 

Katie Otto, a co-producer of the event, is the leader of Sweet Dreams, a burlesque inspired hip-hop crew to be featured at the show. She is currently a student at the University of Georgia. “I have always had a heart for the homeless in Athens and finally figured out a way I can give back. We are bringing hip-hop to Athens,” says Miss Otto.

 

The proceeds from the show will go to the Athens Area Homeless Shelter. Tickets are $5 in advance at the DanceFx studio, or $7 at the door. Sweet Peppers Deli has joined the cause by donating gift certificates for door prizes, and DanceFx will also raffle off an unlimited classes card worth over $100.

 

Get ready for a sensational evening of amazing performances by a variety of dance crews: Sweet Dreams, Modern Pin-Ups, UGA Ballroom Performance Company, D-Coy, and DanceFx Concert Dance Company. Royal Flush, a hip-hop dance group from MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew will be a main feature at the show.

 

The 40 Watt Club is located at 285 W. Washington Street in downtown Athens.
