The Dream to Dance Foundation is dedicated to giving deserving children the amazing opportunity to take a year of dance classes, build confidence, and learn the basics of dance.

The Dream to Dance Foundation was created in 2015 by a member of the Melrose Dance Academy's Senior Performance Team, Cali Lapenta. Cali was 16 years old and a junior at Saint Joseph Prep High School when she started the Foundation. She was a student at Melrose Dance Academy for sixteen years. With the help of her dance teacher and studio owner, Amanda Bruno, Cali started this Foundation. In May of 2017, Cali was featured as Channel 7 News’ Class Act for her work with the Foundation.( See link below )
