Dancing for Autism

❇ 12th Annual Lighting The Way - Autism Awareness Event ❇

❇ 7th Annual Lighting The Way - Dancing For Autism Event ❇

❇ April 1st, 2022 through April 30th, 2022 ❇

We are very happy to be joining a long list of very talented dj's and dancers to help bring awareness to Autism. It's a very good possibility that you either know someone or have a member in your family who has autism. It can be the most puzzling developmental disability because there are a wide range of symptoms which vary from person to person. It's important that we know what causes autism so that we will hopefully find a way to prevent it for future generations. It's also very important to educate about this disability, so that others can understand the life of a person who has autism.
