The Fundraiser Kids Actually Want to Do
Dance-Mania is a full-day Dance-A-Thon or Move-A-Thon for elementary schools — designed as a fundraiser, school spirit day, student reward event, or all three.
We bring the professional sound, advanced lighting, two 65" TVs, clean age-appropriate music, movement videos, and organized grade-level sessions. Your students get one of the most exciting days of the school year, and your staff and volunteers do not have to build an event from scratch.

FULL-DAY SCHOOL EXPERINCE
A Full-Day School Event Built Around Music, Movement and School Spirit
Dance-Mania is not just a DJ dance, it's a structured school-wide experience where students participate in age-appropriate sessions throughout the day. Some schools use it to raise money for playground equipment, grade eight trips, field trips, technology, or school council projects. Others use it as a student reward event or school spirit day.

Big Energy for Students
Less Work for Staff and Volunteers
We help your school think through the goal, format and schedule before the event. Then we arrive with the production, content, equipment, and experience to run the day.
Designed by an Event Pro.
Shaped by a Teacher and Former Home & School President
Dance-Mania is created and run by Paul and Jennifer Nuyens.
Paul brings professional DJ, MC, Audio, lighting and event production from hundreds of weddings, school events and corporate events.
Jennifer is an elementary supply teacher, and served as a Home & School president for six years. That means Dance-Mania is built with a clear understanding of what students enjoy, what teachers need, what administrators worry about, and how much work parent volunteers are already carrying
A Full Production Setup
Not a Bluetooth Speaker in a Gym
We bring the same professional approach we use for weddings, and large events adapted for an elementary school environment. The result is a gym that feels exciting, organized, and completely different from a regular school day.

Planning Call & Goals
We start by learning what success looks like for your school - fundraising, school spirit, student reward or a hybrid.

Date, Schedule & Strategy
We choose a date, plan sessions by grade level and for fundraising events, we share practical ideas to help maximize donations.

Kickoff Assembly
About two weeks before the event we run a kickoff assembly to get students excited and launch the fundraising push.

Event Day & Results
We bring the sound, lights, TVs and energy for an unforgettable event day - then your school celebrates funds raised, spirit built or both.
⚙️ How A Dance-Mania Event Works
Fundraising Works
Best When The Goal Is Clear
Timing, communication, donor fatigue, student engagement, and the purpose of the fundraiser all matter.
FUNDRAISNG GOAL
We want to raise money for playground equipment, a grade 8 grad trip, field trips, or school council projects.
EXPERIENCE GOAL
We mainly want to give our students a fun, memorable day day.
HYBRID GOAL
We want a great school event and hope to raise some extra money too.
We encourage schools to think in terms of families, not just students, because many families have more than one child in the school. The best fundraising approach is realistic, inclusive and easy for families to understand.
The Best Sign It Works?
Schools Invite Us Back.
Many of our Dance-Mania schools bring us back year over year.
Is Dance-Mania Right For Your School?
It may be a great fit if your school wants to:
-
Raise money for a specific project or initiative.
-
Give students a memorable reward day.
-
Build school Spirit
-
Offer a movement-based school event.
-
Reduce volunteer workload
-
Avoid building an event from scratch.
-
Make fundraising feel fun instead of forced.
-
Create an annual event students look forward to.
Not every school has the same goal, and that's okay. We'll help you decide if Dance-Mania makes sense as a fundraiser, school spirit day, student reward event, or hybrid day
