In support of the home entertainment release of the heartwarming animated family adventure, Leap!, Lionsgate has partnered with the non-profit organization, FOOTLOOSE, to gather donations of new and gently used dance shoes to help aspiring dancers in need. On November 16th, from 6p-8p PST, Lionsgate will be hosting an event in which they will be presenting FOOTLOOSE with the shoe donations. I wanted to help support this social good project, by encouraging donations from my readers. If you have new or gently used dance shoes you are willing to donate, you'll find the address to send them to below. You can also follow along the donation event on social media via #LeapMovie and #LeapForFootloose
Savannah and Bella went through their old dance shoes this past weekend and we boxes them up to send off to this worthwhile cause. My girls have loved ballet ever since they were little, thanks in part to the animated series, Angelina Ballerina.
And, now that they are older, they have been really enjoy ballet classes they have been doing as part of a homeschool co-op we are apart of. They love their teacher and love working on their ballet skills weekly.
We will definitely sharing the #LeapForFootloose gently used/new ballet shoes collection drive with the girls' ballet teacher and their fellow ballet dancers. I can't wait to see how many dance shoes the folks at Lionsgate will be providing the FOOTLOOSE organization on November 16th. And, my daughters can't wait for the Leap! movie to arrive on DVD, as they love this movie. We saw it three times in the theater, and as soon as the girls heard it was releasing on DVD and digital, they added a note on the calendar so I would remember to bring them to the store so that they can pick it up and be able to watch it whenever they want. The last time we saw it in the theater, the girls were reciting the dialogue word for word. And, then when they got home, they pretended to be Félicie and were practicing her ballet moves. :-) If you have a prima ballerina in your life who had gently used/new ballet shoes, why not consider donating them to FOOTLOOSE. And, be sure you pick up the Leap! movie when it arrives on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital soon. *Leap! will be available on Digital November 7 and on Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand November 21.
Donations to FOOTLOOSE can be sent prior to November 16 to the address below:

About Leap!
Featuring all-star voice talent led by Elle Fanning (Maleficent), alongside Nat Wolff (The Fault in Our Stars) and Maddie Ziegler (The Book of Henry), with Mel Brooks (Spaceballs), featuring Carly Rae Jepsen (singer-songwriter of the hit song “Call Me Maybe”) and Kate McKinnon (“Saturday Night Live”), Leap! is a colorful and imaginative story about an orphan girl who is determined to follow her dream of becoming a ballerina. Filled with irresistible original music, Leap! features the hit track “Cut to the Feeling.”
Eleven-year-old orphan Félicie (Fanning) has one dream — to go to Paris and become a dancer. Her best friend, Victor (Wolff), an imaginative, exuberant boy with a passion for creating, has a dream of his own — to become a famous inventor. In a leap of faith, Victor and Félicie leave their orphanage in pursuit of their passions. But there’s a catch: Félicie must pretend to be the child of a wealthy family in order to gain admittance to the prestigious and competitive Opera Ballet School in Paris. And with no professional dance training, she quickly learns that talent alone is not enough to overcome the ruthless, conniving attitudes of her fellow classmates, led by the devious Camille Le Haut (Ziegler). Determined to succeed, Félicie finds her mentor in the tough and mysterious school custodian, Odette (Jepsen), who, along with Victor’s encouraging friendship, help her reach for the stars.
Leap! will be available on Digital November 7 and on Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand November 21.
