Dance Designs dance studio is holding its third annual Dancing for a Cure on December 20 (7:00 p.m.) and 21 (2:00 p.m.) at the Barnstable High School in Hyannis, MA. The performance includes The Nutcracker and other holiday dances, as well as inspirational readings and musical acts. More than 100 cast members of all ages will take part in the production. Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $5 for children.

Last year's performances raised $6,745 from ticket sales, opportunity drawing baskets, refreshments, and donations from the Cape Cod community. Proceeds were donated to the Friends of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for ovarian and breast cancer research.
