Elite youth dance students from across the Valley will have the opportunity to showcase their talent at the 24th annual DancIn’spiration benefit program. Scheduled for 6 p.m. on Jan. 19 at the Madison Center for the Performing Arts, 5601 N. 16th St., the event is the collaborative effort of six premier Arizona dance studios demonstrating uplifting dance performance, including all forms of dance like ballet, jazz, tap, musical theater, lyrical, contemporary and hip-hop, for a worthy cause.
The 2025 participants include students from the Bender All-Stars, Dance Motion Performing Company, Bricks Studio, Classic Image Dance, Micaela’s Dance Magic and Innerlight Dance. This year’s beneficiary is MORIAH Cooperative. MORIAH is an acronym for “Motivate and Orchestrate Respectful Interpersonal Achievement and Harmony.” The nonprofit organization aims to empower children with special needs by offering free inclusive social opportunities in a safe and nurturing environment.

Over the last two decades, more than $400,000 has been raised in association with this program.
Tickets for the 2025 DancIn’spiration benefit are $20 and can be purchased through Bender Performing Arts at 602-971-9170 or at the theater one hour before showtime. Run time for the event is under two hours.
