Support A Young Dancer In Real Life With Your Dance Shoes Donation
One Pair Of Shoes – New Or Gently Worn

The look in the eyes of the young dancer could melt your heart. It does it to me every time I watch a little girl in a tutu or in her dance outfit dancing her interpretation of the music on the dancing floor. Kids have a convincing power of imagination to live their lives when they dance. And they take us, grown soles, along the way.

One thing those kids and their parents know is how expensive the dancing outfits can cost. Many families cannot pursue their child’s dream to master dancing to one simple, yet so hard to overcome barrier – the cost of the shoes, dresses and everything that comes with a dancing dream to make it true.

That is why we need – and LOUDLY APPLAUD to – those individuals and organizations who support little dreamers and their families to become phenomenal interpreters of life on a dancing floor.

Children’s feet grow every two to three months. Buying fitted dance shoes is a very expensive proposition.

Featuring all-star voice talent led by Elle Fanning (Maleficent), alongside Nat Wolff (The Fault in Our Stars) and Maddie Ziegler (The Book of Henry), with Mel Brooks (Spaceballs), featuring Carly Rae Jepsen (singer-songwriter of the hit song “Call Me Maybe”) and Kate McKinnon (“Saturday Night Live”), Leap! is a colorful and imaginative story about an orphan girl who is determined to follow her dream of becoming a ballerina. Filled with irresistible original music, Leap! features the hit track “Cut to the Feeling.”

Eleven-year-old orphan Félicie (Fanning) has one dream — to go to Paris and become a dancer. Her best friend, Victor (Wolff), an imaginative, exuberant boy with a passion for creating, has a dream of his own — to become a famous inventor. In a leap of faith, Victor and Félicie leave their orphanage in pursuit of their passions. But there’s a catch: Félicie must pretend to be the child of a wealthy family in order to gain admittance to the prestigious and competitive Opera Ballet School in Paris.

With no professional dance training, she quickly learns that talent alone is not enough to overcome the ruthless, conniving attitudes of her fellow classmates, led by the devious Camille Le Haut (Ziegler). Determined to succeed, Félicie finds her mentor in the tough and mysterious school custodian, Odette (Jepsen), who, along with Victor’s encouraging friendship, help her reach for the stars.
