The Dancing For The Dream Corporation; a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit was founded in 2003 and is the brain child of two ladies who have worked together for over 16 years; Jo Thompson Szymanski and Ms Scooter Lee. Scooter founded the charity for the purpose of promoting health physically and emotionally through low-impact line dancing as you age. She is currently the CEO and Jo Thompson Szymanski's role is Dance Consultant and Instructor.

We use line dance as our chosen form of exercise, gathering statistics on the movements during country western line dance that can injure or enhance a person’s health over the age of 45. Our goal is to record what level of line dance (Beginner, Intermediate or Experienced) will keep long term health by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels, increase balance control and centering, increase bone mass and mobility without joint damage. 

We have proven that low impact line dancing for those over the age of 45 can ease levels of depression and in some cases stave off early signs of Alzheimer’s.

The Dancing For The Dream Fund was established to help those in our professional community that are devastated due to illness or disease that requires more finances than they have. Jo Thompson Szymanski is our 1st recipient. We are adding years to your life and....life to your years! Follow Jo's progress at JoThompson.BlogSpot.com Once your money is donated, it will appear on your statement as Dancing For The Dream, Inc and that money will be transferred into the Dancing For The Dream Fund so it can be accessed by Tim and Jo Thompson Szymanski.
