We're calling each student and family to join us in our annual toy drive to bring JOY for a seriously ill child that is facing challenging, expensive, and at times, terrifying days.

For 40 years, Ronald McDonald House Houston has provided a home away from home for families whose children are seriously ill and being treated at a hospital inside the Texas Medical Center.

Our ISDC Family was saddened that COVID kept us from these kiddos last year. We are honored to be welcomed back this year.

Let's make this Holiday season as joyous as possible for these kids who deserve it so very much.

We invite you to attend our 2021 Danscape Gala! Under the direction of Owner/Director, Ms. Dana Loving-Sparks, her goal is to bring our community together for one night to keep the arts shining and alive.

This incredible concert will help raise awareness for Ovarian Cancer and the importance of CanCare, a mighty community of survivors who lift up and inspire cancer patients and caregivers no one faces cancer alone. This past Halloween was the 10 year anniversary of Ms. Dana's mother's ending battle to Ovarian Cancer.

In addition to being show-stopping voice and advocate for cancer, this dance benefit will raise money for student scholarships. Many families have been unable to recover from the current global pandemic. We are hoping to raise money to present to struggling students, performers and studios. We are also hoping to raise enough money to recognize an outstanding participating senior with a college scholarship. Our goal is to raise over $25,000 to aid our local performing arts community.

We will have guest speakers advocating the importance of the ARTS and guest speakers from families who were affected by losing a loved one to Ovarian Cancer and/or survived by Cancer. In addition to powerful messages, we will have the opportunity to watch live performances from local dance studios, companies and individuals.
