Welcome to the official website of the
2010 Dance 4 Down Syndrome Dance-a-thon!

Dance For Down Syndrome plans to begin a National Event whereby all schools in Australia have the opportunity to enrol their school in a "Dance- A -Thon". This Dance-A-Thon aims to involve as many students as possible in being sponsored by friends and family to dance and raise money for organisations who supply the many resources currently needed by people with Down syndrome, Australia wide.

Any type of school, be it a public or private school, special needs school, dance school or music school, day care centre - all can participate. Each school can register their details online by clicking here. The Dance-A-Thon will be held within a time period of a week in March 2010 leading up to World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st. The date and time is at the school's convenience.

Anthony Ikin from So You think You Can Dance is our patron as well as Gerard O'Dwyer, who has Down Syndrome. Gerard won Best Actor at Tropfest 2009, the film he starred in, "Be My Brother" won Best Film in the same year. We are also excited to have Miss Universe Victoria entrant, Mietta Gornall on board.
