Katie Holmes set to launch dance scholarship
July 7th, 2009 - 2:43 pm ICT by ANIWashington, July 7 (ANI): Katie Holmes has joined hands with ‘Airspray’ director Adam Shankman and reality TV guru Nigel Lythgoe to set up a dance scholarship fund.
The Hollywood actress is set to appear on Lythgoe’s U.S. show ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ later this month.
And she has now teamed up with the pair and ‘Dancing With the Stars’ judge Carrie Ann Inaba to set up the ‘Dizzy Feet Foundation’.
As part of the scholarship, underprivileged youngsters will get the opportunity to take part in dance programs, and win grants to enrol in accredited dance studios, according to Daily Variety.
“I think it’s important for children to experience music and dance. Every child should have the opportunity to discover what it is they like and have access to the very best in that pursuit,” Contactmusic quoted Holmes as saying.
‘The Batman Begins’ star is all set to show off her dancing skills on the floor during a special 100th episode of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, where she will perform a tribute to Judy Garland. (ANI)
