Dance for Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland
6 Weeks. 6 Songs. 1 Mission.
Did you know a dog can change a child’s world? This summer, you can help make that happen, just by dancing.
Dance for AADI is a 6-week, feel-good dance journey that brings people together to support autistic children and their families.
Each week, we’ll release a short, easy-to-follow routine set to a surprise song, mixing beloved classics with fresh hits.
Whether you dance solo, with your family, your dog, or your whole workplace, it’s all about fun, movement, and impact.
Here’s a look at our event kick-off— and as you can see, everyone proved that dancing is all about having fun!
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.
