Global Dance Festival Partners with Cadence & Cause to Fundraise for Youth on Record

Global Dance Festival is returning to Red Rocks once again, with three full nights of some of the best and brightest dance music artists the world has to offer. From global superstars to budding young talent, the lineup features acts like Above & Beyond, W&W, DJ Snake, Knife Party, and many more.

This year’s event comes with an added layer, one which benefits Youth on Record, a local charitable organization whose mission is to empower at-risk Denver youth through music education. Youth on Record’s programs allow teens to learn everything from how to use music production software, to playing instruments, and even how to record, mix, and master their own music. 

“Global Dance Festival wouldn’t be here without the amazing artists that come each and every year. We’re excited to work with Youth on Record to help spread the love of music education to more and more kids.” - Global Dance Festival Team

Fundraising efforts are being powered by Cadence & Cause, a Denver-based company that connects events, musicians, and their fans to worthy charities. Currently, fans can give nominal contributions to enter for a chance to win exclusive experiences like three-day passes to the festival and backstage experiences with W&W and Tritonal.

These sweepstakes end on Thursday, July 7th, a day before the festival begins. The majority of the proceeds will go directly to Youth on Record to help fund their efforts.
