We are asking for a minimum $75 donation per lesson, but more is encouraged and all proceeds go directly to the AA.<\/strong> Cash or a check made out to the Alzheimer&#8217;s Association will cover it. It&#8217;s a great way for a student to work with any instructor in the building, especially a teacher who isn&#8217;t one of their own. Students can take a lesson with all eight teachers if they want! You know we encourage that!<\/p>\n<p>More than 5.5 million Americans have Alzheimer\u2019s, and it affects not only them but their families and caregivers and friends. <strong>Let\u2019s fight back \u2026 on the dance floor.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please join us at the <strong>Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Park Ridge on Saturday, Nov. 11, for Teach-a-Thon<\/strong> <strong>from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m\u00a0<\/strong>and dance lessons with our instructors as we raise funds to combat a terrible disease.
