University of Wisconsin-Madison students can show off their best dance moves at the fifth annual Wisconsin Dance Marathon Friday to raise money for the American Family Children’s Hospital.
The 15-hour dance marathon organized by UW-Madison students offers free registration for students, though they must raise at least $100 for the children’s hospital to participate in the event.
DJ Jorge Estrada will provide music for the marathon, but it will also feature performances by the Madhatters, UW Band, Hypnotiq, UW Redefined, UW Dance Elite, Cheer Club and UW Surma.
The first and last hour of the event are free and open to the public, but spectators must pay $20 for two-hour time slots to continue watching the event.
The dance marathon raised $265,000 in the last four years and student leaders hope to raise another $100,000 this year, according to a statement released by the university.
The event will take place from 6 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday in the Great Hall at Memorial Union.
