If your dancer would like to schedule a makeup class, please contact the TDF office so we can help find the best class option for them. 📧 TDFLincolnRI@gmail.com

🦓 DRESS DOWN FOR CAMI

OCTOBER 12–17 • $5 PER DAY

During the week leading up to our Fall ’Fest for Cami, dancers are invited to ditch the regular studio dress code and Dress Down for Cami!

For a $5 donation per day, dancers can come to class in comfy clothes, TDF gear, fun dancewear, sweats, graphic tees, or other class-safe attire.

🤍🖤 Zebra print is especially encouraged in honor of Cami and the zebra ribbon representing rare cancer awareness.

Participate for one day or the entire week! All donations will go toward supporting Cami and her family.

🎗️ RIBBONS OF HOPE WALL

Throughout Dress Down Week, dancers can also help us fill our Ribbons of Hope Wall — a visual reminder of the love, strength, and support surrounding Cami from her entire TDF family. Stop by the wall, add your ribbon, and help us fill the studio with hope. 🫶
