How to Watch & Participate in the Dance-A-Thon

The biggest dance party of the year is almost here and we want to give you all the details on how to best enjoy, watch and participate in this years virtual Get Down with Down Syndrome Dance-A-Thon!

What to do this Saturday, November 14th:

1.  At 1:00 pm CDT, head over to our our GiGi’s Playhouse Chicago website, Facebook page or YouTube channel (type in GiGi’s Playhouse Chicago to search for us on both platforms) for the premiere of our Dance-A-Thon video! This is the main event! We have incredible performers, special guest appearances, and of course opportunities to break down and bust out your favorite dance moves in your living room.

 

2. During the video premiere, we have a segment of team dance off videos and you will have the opportunity to vote on your favorite team dance! The link to the voting poll will be shared on our Facebook and Instagram pages during the event. The team with the most votes by the time we go live will be announced the winner and will receive a virtual Zoom dance party with DJ Niko!

 

3. After the video ends, stay tuned for our live segment where we will go live at 2:00pm on our FacebookInstagram and YouTube social media channels to see some familiar faces and announce the winners of our raffle and silent auction. Silent auctions items include a signed Jonathan Toews Chicago Blackhawks Jersey and a 1hr Photography Session with Jaclyn Simpson Photography!
