This November, the Impact Dance Complex Performance Ensemble had the honor of performing at the annual TNS Friendsgiving, a heartwarming event that raised money for the amazing programs offered by The Next Step (TNS) in Bucks County, PA. Known for their work supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, TNS fosters independence, empowerment, and community inclusion through their dynamic programs and services.

Our dancers were thrilled to be part of this special evening, using their talents to contribute to a cause that aligns with the values we hold dear—community, inclusivity, and giving back. The night began with a unique twist on tradition: pancakes for dinner! Sponsored by Ash Chase Culinary, guests enjoyed a delicious breakfast-themed meal before moving into the next portion of the evening—opening the dance floor!

Our Performance Ensemble brought their signature energy and enthusiasm to the stage, kicking off the evening’s celebrations with a jazz & hip-hop performance that had the audience clapping along. We even rocked pajamas to get into the “breakfast-for-dinner” theme! From dynamic choreography to beaming smiles, our dancers set the tone for an unforgettable night of fun and connection. After their performance, the dance floor came alive with music provided by our very own Mr. Tony and Mr. Darius, who served as DJs for the event. The dancers stayed and partied the night away with all of the members of TNS, showing that dance knows no limits, and is for everyone! TNS is an incredible organization committed to creating opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities. Through programs focused on skill-building, social activities, and community integration, TNS helps participants achieve greater independence and live fuller lives.

We are so proud to have been part of this event, helping to raise funds and awareness for their impactful mission.
