History
Dance for a Reason was conceived by Geni Morrow in 1992. She had been dancing with several companies in Eugene for many years and often wished she could get all of her friends together for one big performance. Thinking beyond friends, she reached out into the vast community of dancers, asking them to give their time and expertise to help create an eclectic and exciting dance extravaganza in which the profits would be donated to organizations that benefit our community. Call it Dance for a Reason! After a lot of hard work, the first Dance for a Reason was staged in 1993. Held at the University of Oregon campus in Agate Hall, the audience numbered just over 100. As it grew throughout the years, Dance for a Reason moved to the Performing Arts auditorium at Lane Community College. And then, in 2006, it made its debut in the Silva Concert Hall at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts with an audience of over 1800 people.
