Festival Title: A SECOND CHANCE, Event Date: May 16, 2009

Grounding Point Dance Company is excited to announce that Artistic Director, Carrie Smaczny, will be producing a dance festival at Hype Studios.  The purpose of this dance festival is to raise money for the Daybreak Day Center at Ocean Pacific Community Center (a homeless shelter) in Santa Monica, CA.  "100 % of the proceeds will go directly to the shelter to help get homeless women off the streets," states Smaczny.  

How did Grounding Point Dance Company get involved with OPCC?

"I have been volunteering at OPCC as a Pilates instructor since November of 2008.   These women are so inspiring to me.  I want to give them more than just my time.  I want to raise awareness of the homelessness problem we have in America today and I want to help raise money to support their current programs.  We will be having a silent auction and reception prior to the performance" states Smaczny.

Smaczny's friend and pilates client Melaine Miller, who has been involved in the film and music industry, has taken the role of silent auction coordinator. 

If you are interested in donating, dancing, volunteering at the event or just want to support us by passing on the information please contact Carrie Smaczny at info@gpdance.com
