Motion Mania Dance Theatre, the professional company of Motion Mania, is celebrating 20 years of bringing dance to the Washington metropolitan area. As many of you know, the company is comprised of Motion Mania instructors, area dance professionals, and students who have been honored to join the company as apprentices. The ability to bring this talented company to the stage has been met by many challenges. MMDT has been lucky to have angels who have contributed dollars, time, and effort. Performance costs include theater rental, tickets, programs, lighting, sound, costuming, and props.

This year, consider giving more than just thanks for the joy that Motion Mania Dance Theatre brings to your life.

The cost of maintaining a performance company for you, your kids, and the community is higher than you might think. Just renting the space for a performance can cost upwards of $15,000, and ticket sales alone rarely come close to covering the expense. There are various ways that you can help support MMDT.

1) Donate here! Use your major credit card or PayPal account to make a tax deductible donation in any denomination.

2) Use www.goodsearch.com entering MMDT as your charity. Powered by Yahoo! MMDT earns a penny for every search. The beauty is – there is NO COST TO YOU.

3) Do your holiday shopping at http://www.goodsearch.com/goodshop.aspx and enter MMDT as your charity. With tops stores like: Bestbuy, Apple, Barnes and Noble, Macy's, Nordstrom, and many more, a percentage of your purchase goes directly to MMDT. All at NO ADDITIONAL COST TO YOU. In fact, a recent purchase at Gaiam.com via goodshop earned us almost $300.

4) Donate in kind. Can your business donate advertising space? Food for a fundraiser? Printing for our programs? Sponsorships? All of your in-kind donations qualify for tax deductions.

5) Volunteer. We always need help at our performances and your time and assistance is greatly appreciated.

As Motion Mania Dance Theatre celebrates this landmark anniversary, your help is vital in making the next 20 years even more spectacular and successful as the first.

We are truly thankful for your donation and we wish you and your family a very happy and healthy season!

With love,
Bonnie
