Dance for Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland
Did you know one assistance dog can completely change an autistic child’s world?
This summer, you can help make that happen — simply by dancing and donating €20.
Dance for AADI is a joyful, feel-good campaign bringing people across Ireland together to support autistic children and their families.
The best part? You can join in your own way. You can:
- Learn one song or all six
- Dance solo or with your friends, family, or even your dog
- Dance anywhere — at home, in the park, at work, or on holiday
It’s all about having fun, moving your own way, and making a real difference.
People all over Ireland are getting involved, dancing in kitchens, parks, and workplaces.
Ready to join in? Get ready to dance! This week’s song is Shake It Off by Taylor Swift.
Dance for AADI: FAQ
How do I take part?
✅ Create your fundraising page here: https://www.idonate.ie/event/DanceforAutismAssistanceDogsIreland
✅ Raise or donate €20 to unlock all the weekly dance tutorials.
Do I need to raise funds?
You don’t have to fundraise beyond the €20 — that’s all you need to take part. But every extra euro you raise really helps us transform the world for autistic children and their families.
Do I need to dance to all six songs?
No! You can pick your favourite song from the 6 weeks, or join in the weekly mini challenges — like dancing to your favourite song in your favourite place, or even dancing to any song you love. We just want to see people moving, having fun, and supporting the cause in their own way.
Do I have to film or share my dances?
No! Recording and sharing your dance is completely optional. The most important thing is to have fun and help raise funds to support autistic children.
Where can I dance?
Anywhere you like — at home, in the garden, at a park, with your family, your friends, or even your dog!
When do I need to start?
There’s no strict start date. You can begin whenever suits you during the summer and dance on any day that works for you. The campaign runs until mid-August, and we release a new song each week.
Can I dance with others?
Absolutely! You’re welcome to dance with friends, family, or anyone who wants to join in. The more, the merrier.
