Hello San Diego community and viewers!!!
Wishes.
When we all think about and dream about our wishes, we always look up and imagine that one day it will come true.
Some of us wish for a new car, a million dollars, or even a shopping spree.
Some of us wish for a significant other, a passing grade in Math class, or an acceptance letter from a University.
And in some cases, some of us just wish for a musical instrument, shelter, and some even wish for another week to live.
We all wish for something that will make us happy. Will that wish come true today?
Sunday, September 5, 2010—Outreach Through Dance presents “Dance for a Wish”
Outreach Through Dance is a production company that produces dance showcases such as “Dance For A Wish” in hopes of raising money for various non-profit, research and charitable organizations in San Diego.
Dancers from Mesa College, Grossmont College, local dance companies and various studios throughout San Diego and Los Angeles are coming together to participate in this year’s dance production called “Dance For A Wish” to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of San Diego. Our goal is to raise enough funds to sponsor a wish of a child. This year we are doing this show in honor of our 4-year-old wish child, Emely Valencia. Emely and her family have been fighting her illness, but still manages to smile at everything she wakes up too. Emely definitely has the strongest spirit towards life, which is truly admirable!!!
She gets excited when she hears the sound of a strummed guitar.
She smiles because she’s sharing her love.
She laughs when you laugh.
She hugs because she can feel.
She is strong because she has hope.
She made me realize that life IS beautiful…even if you’re struggling.
The “Dance For A Wish” showcase will feature a wide variety of hip hop and contemporary dances. Each piece will convey a different message what we wish for to bring us hope, strength, love and passion. Trust me, you will be touched and inspired through every piece that will be performed and also, by every poem that is read by our narrator, Rudy Francisco.
I’m so excited for the show! We’ve been working really hard to put this show together for Emely. Through the power of dance, our organization conveys to people of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds the message of hope, strength, positivity, joy and the power of giving. It’s an amazing feeling to come together in dance community to put a production showcase for a great cause!!!
Please come out and support this cause…get ready to be inspired!

Oh! Guess what?!? Emely wished for a grand piano. What’s your wish now?
