Things are never dull here at Tiny Toones, but September promises to be one of the biggest months we have had all year!

The focus of the month is the Dance School Challenge, our annual fundraising drive in which we encourage people to donate or raise money by hosting an event or completing a challenge. We have our own party planned at Showbox on September 21st so come on down and party in style while making a difference!

September is also bringing Tiny Toones international recognition through the Cambodia Town Film Festival. The Cambodia Town Film Festival is the first annual Khmer film event held in Cambodia Town in Long Beach, California. It was created to showcase Khmer talent and culture and the Tiny Toones music video for Anakut (found here) has been officially selected to be screened during the 3 day festival!

The Beyond Sport awards are an annual celebration of organizations who use sport to create positive social change, and another great opportunity for Tiny Toones. We are one of only 3 organizations in the world shortlisted for the UNICEF Sport for Education award, which is an enormous honour. Dance teacher Fresh will be flying to Philadelphia to attend the ceremony and hopefully bringing home the gold! (Check out Fresh’s story here).

On top of all of this, September will mark the beginning of Tiny Toones offering private breakdancing lessons! Held at Krama Yoga studio (#52 St. 302), the lessons will run from 1 – 2pm every Saturday through September at a cost of $6 per person (no more than 10 people to a class). The age limit is 15+, the lessons are aimed at people with little or no breakdance experience and they promise to be awesome fun so get there early to make sure you don’t miss out!
