Shop & Help Baby Damir

    At 11 months old, Damir has been diagnosed with leukemia. His parents, Christina and Dima are Fred Astaire Dance Studio Directors, figuring out how to navigate this difficult time while keeping a sense of normalcy for his 4 year old sister Adelina. We want to support one of our littlest Fred Astaire dancers any way we can, which is why in an effort to support the Turcan family, we are collaborating with SilktoCotton Designs and donating to the cause, from the sales of our products. What you can do... The purchase of any Dress4Dance training attire or any SilktoCotton pillowcase and pajama will contribute to a fund which directly helps the family to pay for his medical care. Head over to the web stores to browse the collections and share this fundraiser with your friends and loved ones. Any purchase will help the Turcan family through these times.       Visit us here: Dress4Dance           SilktoCotton
