What is Dare to Dance Decades?

Bust a move in support of our students!

Dare to Dance is a social media movement started by Seneca employees as part of the Campaign for Students. We are daring individuals and groups across Seneca to film themselves dancing and post the video on this website, then share it on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. Our goal is to increase donations and spread awareness about the Campaign for Students, all while looking as awesome or silly and enthusiastic as possible.This year, celebrate Seneca’s 50^th Anniversary with Dare to Dance Decades. Wild about waltz? Silly for salsa? Devoted to disco? Pick a song from the last 50 years and shake your groove thang!It’s easy to dare others to dance. Just follow these steps:
