'Making Strides' 2011

'Making Strides' is the equivalent of 'Race for Life' in the UK, it is all over the United States, and today it was New York's turn, tens of thousands of people walked each of the 5km walks throughout the five boroughs; Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx.

Broadway Dance Centre for the last six years has had a team that walk the walk, and also a team of dancers that support all the walkers as they trek through Central Park. We were part of the 'cheer' team this year, complete with a flash mob, freestyle, posters and a ghetto blaster!

It was an early start for a Sunday morning (8am meet), and rather nippy in this Fall (Autumn) weather, but what a buzz we all got from it! Walkers were joining in the routines, linking onto the kick line and generally motivated from us all in our Pink Broadway Dance Centre 'Dance for a Cure' T-Shirts.

Women, Men, children and Dogs (of course!) were dressed up in pink, wigs, face paint, and posters luckily it was a lovely sunny day in Central Park. The press were everywhere, we're checking out websites and papers tomorrow and I imagine we will be upon numerous Facebook pages and Blogs, especially Rosina with her crowd pleasing 'BOOBS' poster! Sam's 'Save second base!' went down pretty well too!

This is an on-going blog that we will link press photos and videos on , when they go live, but for the mean time check out a select few below...
