Dizzy Feet Foundation founding member, actress Katie Holmes performed an homage to Judy Garland in which she danced to and sang Garland's classic "Get Happy" on the 100th episode of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE on Thursday, July 23rd on FOX TV.
Katie Holmes has teamed up with Hairspray director Adam Shankman, reality TV mastermind Nigel Lythgoe and Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba to set up the Dizzy Feet Foundation. 'Dizzy Feet' is a dance scholarship fund that will give underprivileged youngsters the opportunity to take part in dance programs and win grants to enroll in accredited dance studios.
Katie Holmes enjoyed the success of her Broadway debut in All My Sons and proved skeptics wrong by handling the pressures of performing on the Great White Way with passion and ease, proving she was a natural for the New York stage.
