Thanks to all who contributed to the success of this event, and we hope to see you back to our 5th year anniversary event!

"Spring Dance Inspiration" is an annual event at which San Francisco Bay Area artists perform with their feet and their hearts to raise awareness of brain tumors and funds that support brain tumor research, and provides support for brain tumor patients and their families. The event has helped raise over $145,000 to the Brain Tumor Community.

Due to a theater renovation, we are unable to produce the event in Spring 2011. Our next event will be scheduled in Spring 2012. Please visit our website in Summer 2011 for more information.

Thank you very much for your support!
