SOUTH GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — More than 700 students at South Glens Falls High School in upstate New York danced the weekend away for charity, raising almost half a million dollars for local causes.
The kids did it all: Conga lines, "Gangnam Style," giddy-ups, hand jives and the "Harlem Shake." Then the flushed and weary teens showed why this is a dance marathon with a difference.
Students cleared a path for a group who walked or were wheeled to the stage at one end of the gym. One by one — a woman battling cancer in a stocking cap, mothers of ailing children, car crash survivors — thanked the teenage dancers who'd just raised more than $489,000 to help them tackle life's challenges.
