Moscow Downtown Trick-or-Treat

H a l l o w e e n F L A S H M O B !

With Halloween just around the corner, it's a spooktacular time to share one of our most beloved performance events for Motion Fever Performance Troupe--a Halloween flash mob! We are so happy to return to the festivities again this year, dancing to the theme of (drum roll please)--"Ghostbusters"! One of the most exciting things about this particular performance with Festival Dance, is that we would like to invite YOU, and your entire family, to join in the jam!

Orchestrated in tandem with the Moscow Chamber of Commerce, Motion Fever Performance Troupe will perform at Main Street and 5th, at 5pm on October 31st, directly amidst the Downtown Moscow Trick or Treat event. After a short performance by team members, dancers will invite crowd members into the square for a chorus section of choreography--which is where you come in and join in the dancing fun!

Please join us with the entire family to celebrate Halloween and show Motion Fever our support. No experience necessary ♥ We look forward to getting our boogie on with you!

Please help us support our wonderful teacher, Colleen, and the baby girl that she is expecting in early February. Colleen's fiancee, Steve Pacatte, died unexpectedly in a motor vehicle collision, and we are collecting donations to help support her and their baby.

Steve was a loved and respected firefighter who worked for the San Francisco Fire Department for the past 3 years, most recently at Station 14. Prior to this he worked for the Tiburon Fire District and Marin County Fire Department, and last month helped battle the Camp Fire in Butte County. Steve was a graduate of Sacred Heart. He was really excited about becoming a dad. Our hearts go out to Colleen and Steve’s families.

This fundraiser is endorsed by Captain Frank Hsieh of Station 14, San Francisco Fire Department.
