The Will Dance For Kids Project has involved hundreds of Utah children raising money for the Utah Food Bank over the last few months.

Part fundraiser, part dance contest, the project culminated Saturday with a competition at Taylorsville High School and a donation to the food bank of more than $10,000.

Dancers raised the money through food donations, sponsors, in-kind donations and ticket sales.
