The Dance For Sick Kids initiative was a seven-day period where people of all ages and dancing abilities clock the hours they dance and seek donations from friends and family.

Dance studios, workplaces and schools can all get involved.

"You participate by setting up a team under your studio and you join that team and try to dance for as many hours as you can for the week that it's held," TDF principal Felicity King said.

"They can come and participate at their hours that they do here at the studio or they can dance at home.

"We've had a couple of kids practice their solo dances for competitions at home so they could record those hours that they practice at home as well."

This is the first year that TDF has participated in the initiative, and having almost doubled their target, Ms King was very happy with efforts of her dancers.

"I have a team of 16 team members aged nine through to 12," she said.

"Our goal was $1000 but we've raised over $1700 which is awesome."

One of the committed students doing her bit for such a good cause was 10-year-old Maddison Gorrell, who has been dancing for eight years and thinks that the Dance For Sick Kids cause is very worthy.

Maddison has danced for around 900 minutes "to make the sick kids better so their families can be near them when they're not feeling that well."

So far, the 'Dance For Sick Kids' initiative has raised over $1 million.
