Dance With Me in Stamford Supports Charitable Causes

Charity Matchmaking - Dance With Me Studio and Tony Dovolani (Dancing with the Stars) offer one-of-a-kind auction item(s) to support PAWS of Norwalk's medical care fund for sheltered animals.

I took a lesson at the new Stamford dance studio, Dance With Me on Summer St., and was very impressed! No hard sell tactics. I was able to follow my dance instructor (without tequila) and not step on his toes! It was a great lesson. I was sore in my arms (maintained good frame) and no knee problems. I'm going back for more. I can get fit here and have fun. My instructor, Eduardo, is passionate about helping people achieve their goals through dance. Part psychologist, part comedian, very stylish and a great dancer; works for me.

I went to see them partly because Dance with Me co-owner and Stamford native, Tony Dovolani who brought home the mirrored ball trophy from Dancing with the Stars, has offered to teach a dance lesson to the winner of an auction item for PAWS, an animal shelter I work with and volunteer for in Norwalk.

Not only did they offer the dance lesson and a chat with Tony after about his DWTS experiences, but they offered 25 individual dance lessons to be sold for $15 each to raise money for PAWS.

Everyone wins - DWM studios gets new dancers, the winner gets a priceless rare opportuntiy, people can try dancing at a reasonable cost, and the dogs get great medical care. What can be bad about any of that????
