Think about that for a minute.<\/p>\n<p>We at the Ahwatukee studio want to help and that means we are counting on your generosity as well. We are running the food drive from <strong>Nov. 18th to Nov. 26th<\/strong>. Here\u2019s the plan:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>For our current students: bring in non-perishable food items and you will receive extra points towards winter festival which means more chances to win prizes!\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>For new clients: bring in non-perishable food items and we\u2019ll thank you with a free introductory dance lesson! <\/strong>No partner is required. Contact us to schedule a convenient time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Our instructors will be teaching for 24 hours straight (!) on Saturday, Nov. 23 to support this cause! We ask, for each lesson a student takes, they bring at least one item to donate.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>You can also make online donations here: <a href=\"http:\/\/mfba.convio.net\/FredAstaireFundDrive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mfba.convio.net\/FredAstaireFundDrive<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How important is this? Consider: More than 979,000 Arizonans are struggling with hunger; roughly 348,000 are children. And you can\u2019t tell just by looking. Some of these folks could be your neighbors.<\/p>\n<p>Please help us gather food for those in need. Let\u2019s do something to take a bite out of hunger in the Phoenix area.<\/p>\n<p>Come see us. Bring non-perishable food or a donation and collect extra points (or a free lesson if you&#8217;re new!). We\u2019re waiting for you \u2026<\/p>\n<p>*<em>(One free lesson for new clients only)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The holiday season is upon us, but it isn\u2019t a joyous time for the many with too little to eat.
