Free Dance Class In Sleepy Hollow To Benefit Make-A-Wish

SLEEPY HOLLOW, NY — A local dance studio is celebrating National Ballroom Dance Week by offering a free, public dance class to anyone in the community who "wants to shake a leg for critically ill children." The Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Tarrytown will host the open ballroom dancing class to raise money for Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley.

The free class will be held from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 26 at the studio located at 358 North Broadway, Suite 102, in Sleepy Hollow.

Studio owners Sasha and Olga Bylim pick a charity to help every year during National Ballroom Dance Week.

"Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley serves so many critically ill children in our area, so we know this is the right move — dance move, that is," Sasha Bylim said.

"We believe in the life-changing wishes their organization provides these kids just like we know about the life-changing benefits of ballroom dancing. That's why National Ballroom Dance Week is a great opportunity for us to partner with this amazing organization," he said.

All ages are welcome, but folks under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. You should wear whatever makes you comfortable and gets the dancing juices flowing. Participants are encouraged to give a donation, no matter how small. RSVP by calling 914-301-4176.
