Movement & Martinis

Capitol Movement’s 6th Annual Winter Fundraiser and Silent auction gathered the who’s who of Washington DC at Dirty Martini late last week to enjoy  cocktails, network, gather with friends and bid on a silent auction items…all for a child to “Live…Dream…Dance!”

To fulfill its mission of a better District of Columbia, CMI partners with community organizations to offer free or reduced-cost dance education to low-income neighborhoods, leveling the playing field in dance for those that have money for excellent training and those that do not.

The CMI organization provides at-risk youth with traveling classrooms and mentors and offers scholarships to deserving youth to pursue their dreams in dance. In return, scholarship recipients are required to commit to giving back to the D.C. community.

Senator Mark Warner, Redskin Cheerleaders and Wizard Dancers were among those who attended to support the growing organization.
