Event Overview

Join us on Saturday, November 22, for UCC’s Dance-a-Thon Fundraiser, a full day of movement, music, and community connection! 

Experience back-to-back classes led by our incredible teaching artists, beginning at 10 AM. Each class offers a unique style, celebrating the diverse traditions that make UCC a cultural home for so many.

Grab an all-day pass with party access, or sign up for one or two classes. Every pass helps sustain our programs and community space.

If you can’t join us in person, you can still support by making a donation in any amount that feels right for you. We can’t wait to move, dance, and celebrate together!

Fundraising Goal

This event also serves as a vital fundraiser for UCC, with a goal of $5,000 to help sustain our programs and community space.
