I’ve partnered with Bloggin’ Mamas for this social good campaign. I may receive movie-related promotional items or experiences; but all opinions expressed are my own and no monetary compensation was received.
In support of the home entertainment release of the heartwarming animated family adventure, Leap!, Lionsgate has partnered with the non-profit organization, FOOTLOOSE, to gather donations of new and gently used dance shoes to help aspiring dancers in need. On November 16th, from 6p-8p PST, Lionsgate will be hosting an event in which they will be presenting FOOTLOOSE with the shoe donations. I wanted to help support this social good project, by encouraging donations from my readers. If you have new or gently used dance shoes you are willing to donate, you’ll find the address to send them to below. You can also follow along the donation event on social media via #LeapMovie and #LeapForFootloose
I’m personally excited for this. I love it when everyone is able to give back, and this is such a great thing to do. This seems a lot different than a lot of other causes, and I think that’s a great thing. I hope that many of us are going to be able to support this great cause. Sending any dance shoes are really going to make a huge difference for someone.
Donations to FOOTLOOSE can be sent prior to November 16 to the address below:

About Leap!
Featuring all-star voice talent led by Elle Fanning (Maleficent), alongside Nat Wolff (The Fault in Our Stars) and Maddie Ziegler (The Book of Henry), with Mel Brooks (Spaceballs), featuring Carly Rae Jepsen (singer-songwriter of the hit song “Call Me Maybe”) and Kate McKinnon (“Saturday Night Live”), Leap! is a colorful and imaginative story about an orphan girl who is determined to follow her dream of becoming a ballerina. Filled with irresistible original music, Leap! features the hit track “Cut to the Feeling.”
Eleven-year-old orphan Félicie (Fanning) has one dream — to go to Paris and become a dancer. Her best friend, Victor (Wolff), an imaginative, exuberant boy with a passion for creating, has a dream of his own — to become a famous inventor. In a leap of faith, Victor and Félicie leave their orphanage in pursuit of their passions. But there’s a catch: Félicie must pretend to be the child of a wealthy family in order to gain admittance to the prestigious and competitive Opera Ballet School in Paris. And with no professional dance training, she quickly learns that talent alone is not enough to overcome the ruthless, conniving attitudes of her fellow classmates, led by the devious Camille Le Haut (Ziegler). Determined to succeed, Félicie finds her mentor in the tough and mysterious school custodian, Odette (Jepsen), who, along with Victor’s encouraging friendship, help her reach for the stars.
Leap! will be available on Digital November 7 and on Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand November 21.

Doesn’t it! I’m excited to see it.
This was SUCH a good movie! I went to see it with my daughters, and we all got the feels.
I’m so glad to hear that. I can’t wait to see it!
I have to get this! I loved Leap in the theater, and I want to have it on hand at all times for the rest of my life. SUCH a cute movie!
I can’t wait to see it with my girls!
I wanted to see this one and somehow I missed it. I’m glad that it is now coming out on Blu-ray because I definitely need to own it. It looks like such a cute movie.
I can’t wait too. I haven’t been able to see it just yet.
I’ve not heard of Leap but it sounds like such a sweet movie and what an amazing idea is footloose I hope it helps so many people.
I love that they’re helping out too!
This partnership rocks! I hope this helps a lot of dancers get the shoes they need. Leap sounds like a cute movie!
I sure hope so as well!
I am so happy about this great campaign. I have so many old dance shoes from my daughter that are perfect to send!
That’s great to hear!! I hope you’re able to send them out.
I want to see the movie Leap this week. It looks so cute! I think Footloose is a great campaign and I hope a lot of people will be able to donate. Kids outgrow shoes so quickly!
They sure do! I can’t wait to see the movie either. It does look very cute.
I love movies that showcase orphans doing great things. I think my kids would love this movie too!
Same here! It’s great.
I love the Footloose campaign! How wonderful that those deserving dancers will get the shoes they need!
I love it as well. It’s great what they’re doing.
This sounds like a cute movie. And Footloose sounds like a great organization.
It sure does!
Footloose sounds like an amazing organization. Everyone deserves the chance to try dance. I will have to watch for the movie coming out.
I agree. It is amazing!
I have to see this movie! Footloose was my favorite movie growing up!
Same! I can’t wait to see it.
I saw the Leap movie with my daughter. It was so heartwarming and a fabulous story! I really loved watching it with her.
I’m so glad to hear it cuz I can’t wait to see it.
I love to hear about and support cool companies that support great causes like this one does. That movie Leap is so fun and entertaining, too.
Same! I think it’s great.
What a cute looking movie! And I love that Footloose collects used shoes … I’ll have to check our attic for old dance shoes.
I hope you’re able to find some. It sure is a great cause.
Very good cause. Cute movie
Right!
Aww, what a sweet movie. I haven’t heard of this one but it’s something I know my daughter would enjoy.
I can’t wait to see it either. It looks so cute and I know my girls will love it as well.
This is awesome! I watched this movie with my kids and it’s really amazing! This is also a great way to help and donate for kids.
I can’t wait to see it with my girls.
Honestly I have no idea what is a Leap all about. But I will watch it for sure because the story is so amazing and I’m glad that they’re helping too.
It is an amazing story. I can’t wait to watch it myself.
This is a cool campaign. I was in dance as a child and I remember how quickly that I had to get new dance shoes because my feet grew before my dance sessions were up. I wish that we could have donated my old shoes to help others in need.
I think it’s wonderful what they’re doing!
This is a wonderful thing to focus on. Many people don’t realize that kids miss out simply because they do not have the supplies.
Right! I love that they’re doing this.
I can’t wait to see this movie. I think it’s amazing that they’re teaming up with footloose for this cause.
Same! It looks like it’s going to be a good movie.
Wow, I love the causes people think of. I would have never thought about how not having dance clothes would effect some kids.
Right! It’s such a good cause.
Footloose is an amazing organization! So happy to hear that they are partnering with Leap for this campaign!
I’m so happy to hear about it as well!
My daughter participates in ballet and wanted to see this movie during its theatrical showings but we missed it. Going to pick up the Blu-ray for her Christmas stocking.
That’s great! I bet she’ll love it.
That sounds like a great movie. I know my niece would love to see it. And what an awesome campaign. Kudos to Footloose for creating it.
I can’t wait to see it either. I just love the campaign as well.
Oh my daughters are going to LOVE this movie, they are both dancers!
That’s great! I can’t wait to see this movie either.
That is just wonderful! What a great way to raise money and that movie looks really cool! i can’t wait to see it!
Right! I thought it was amazing.
Haven’t seen the movie. I know my great granddaughter would love it.
It’s a really good movie. I hope you all are able to see it soon!
