Camp Ta-Kum-Ta
5th Annual Benefit Partner Dance Showcase
The fifth annual Camp Ta-Kum-Ta Benefit Partner Dance Showcase has been set for Saturday,October 25th, 2008. The show promises to be even better, and more successful, than last year!
On Saturday, October 25th 2008, members of the Vermont partner dancing community will come together to put on a dance showcase to support Camp Ta-Kum-Ta, Vermonts cancer camp for kids. The event will showcase local partner dance enthusiasts and will include performances by instructors, students and groups of students dancing Tango, Swing, Salsa, Rumba, Waltz and other dances.
All net proceeds will be donated to support Camp Ta-Kum-Ta a week-long resident camp for children between the ages of 7 and 17 who have or have had cancer. Founded in 1984, Camp Ta-Kum-Ta is located in Colchester, Vermont, and enjoys a breathtaking location on the shores of beautiful Lake Champlain.
Camp Ta-Kum-Ta is a one-week-a-year-jam-packed magical happening. There are traditional program offerings in activities like swimming, athletics, ropes course, arts and crafts, and music, but Ta-Kum-Ta's true calling card is "special events": boat rides and lakeside cookouts with the Vermont State Police, dance parties, rock climbing expeditions, theme carnivals, ballgames and an annual formal dinner/dance.
Camp Ta-Kum-Ta is independent and self-sustaining, and is financed completely through private donations and fundraising. With an all-volunteer staff of 70, Ta-Kum-Ta accepts all of its children tuition-free. This dance Showcase will raise money to offset the cost of materials and equipment used at Camp Ta-Kum-Ta.
