if we get sean, they will come
Pat Alley is trying to raise awareness of the Savannah Dance festival. She came to kickstarter with a definite goal: get the funds to bring the Sean Curran Company to town, as the headliner.
Dream big or go home, right?
I don't know much about Sean Curran, except that he was one of the original members of Stomp. That's good enough street cred(entials) for me! I was at their 2005 show when they came to Savannah and consider myself very fortunate. Part of the beauty of the performances was watching the shadows on the walls of the Johnny Mercer Theatre as the dancers leapt and spun and stomped! - it was incredible and I could hardly sit still, dancing my way out into the streets after the show!
So, if the goal was to bring a dance troupe that talented to Savannah for all to enjoy, then sure! I'll put up some cold hard cash for that!
Especially as I'll get two rewards: 1) the posted reward of a T-shirt from the every day i'm shufflin' flash mob event that occured for the 4th of July here, and 2) the reward of being present at the Savannah Dance Festival. Win-win!

Grateful, Hopeful, Excited!
Dear Friend,
What a thrill to see your name appear on our Kick Starter page as a backer! Thank you for coming on this journey with us. Your pledge of confidence and financial support means so much to the volunteers that are working to make this happen.
With the success of our first two pre-festival events: Casablanca at the Telfair Museum on Valentine's Day and Every Day I'm Shufflin' Flash Mob on River Street on the 4th of July (two amazing Savannah sites), we now turn to our third event, "TWIST!" This concert fundraiser will take place on September 22 at Varnado Theater in Savannah Arts Academy at 7pm. Six talented area choreographers will present works inspired by Fairy Tales, but with a twist. All will re-envision these stories in contemporary settings with modern themes. "Twist!" will benefit SDF with proceeds ear-marked toward the Sean Curran Concert that you are helping to fund as the center piece of the inaugural Savannah Dance Festival.
Please share our link with your friends and visit often. Now get out there and DANCE!!

Hi fliss,
What an interesting name! Just wanted to say thank you so much for your help with our dance festival. It has been such an exciting experience so far. Though some times daunting, I believe strongly in the power of art--dance in particular to make this world a better place. Thanks so much for your pledge.
