CUDM boasts the title of the biggest and best dance party of the year! To keep our dancers on their feet for the cause, our entertainment directors create 28 themed hours, each with its own unique music, food, props, and give-aways. We invite you to purchase a themed hour for $500, which will, in addition to being a donation to EGPAF, help cover the costs of
Food and special snacks for our dancers
Give-aways, costumes, and props
Entertainment, including music, video, or live performance
During your company's themed hour, you will enjoy:
A special certificate of thanks presented at the beginning of the hour
An ad in our slideshow to be repeated every five minutes throughout your hour
A promotional booth for a representative from your company
This unique package provides a great opportunity to promote your company in a way that dancers will enjoy and appreciate. We invite you to work with the entertainment directors to design your own themed hour or to find inspiration in examples from last year (80's hour, Bar/Bat mitzvah hour, Rap hour, etc.). We look forward to seeing what creative and fun themes your create for this year.
