This May, we’re proud to host “Find the Beat & Breathe”, a CTA initiative in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. Across the U.S., we'll be offering awareness classes, masterclasses, community walks, and even family field day events—all with one purpose: to shine a light on mental health and support those navigating it.
Our goal is simple but powerful: to foster connection, understanding, and hope through movement and shared experiences. We believe in the healing power of dance—as a way to release stress, uplift the spirit, and build community. Whether it’s through sweat, smiles, or meaningful moments together, we’re here to say: It’s okay to not be okay.
Let’s move together. Let’s speak up. Let’s make mental health a conversation we all feel empowered to be part of.
Sweat. Smile. Shine.

To further support our mission, we’ve launched a Find the Beat & Breathe collection on the CTY Swag Shop—created to raise awareness, spark conversation, and give our community a way to wear their commitment to mental health awareness.
To help spread the message even further, we’ve also created a folder of social media assets designed to support your promotion of the campaign and events. Inside, you’ll find graphics and messaging for “Find the Beat & Breathe,” a key theme in our movement this May—reminding us all to pause, breathe, and reconnect through rhythm and community.
In addition, we’re offering a downloadable PDF Mental Health Journal—a thoughtful resource designed to help you check in with yourself, reflect intentionally, and advocate for your own mental well-being. It’s a simple, powerful tool to support your mental health journey, one page at a time.
Whether you’re hosting a class, attending a walk, or simply sharing your story online, these tools make it easy to amplify the message and invite others to be part of the movement.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re not just talking about change—we’re dancing our way toward it. Every step, every beat, every rhythm is one more way we can break the silence and create a space where mental health is celebrated, not hidden.
Together, we’re turning up the volume on compassion, community, and courage. It’s time to move, connect, and be the change we want to see. So, let’s get up, get active, and show the world that when we dance together, we rise together.
Ready to step into something bigger? Let’s do this!

Tell us about a volunteering opportunity in your area so we can let our COMMIT Fam know!
CTY COMMIT Dance Fitness created Compassion Through Action to give back to the community. We have teams across the USA helping us raise awareness, collect items, or raise funds for different organizations throughout the year.
We encourage everyone to do your own fundraising. Do not let what we do as a company prevent you from doing something that speaks to your heart.
If you see a team holding a fundraiser that you would like to support, please connect with that team to make your donation.
