Donations for Bursaries

Please Help If You Can?

 https://www.payfast.co.za/donate/go/dancecrew

As the economy bites ever deeper into everyone’s pocket the need to provide partial or full bursaries for potential dancers becomes more pressing.

Recently we auditioned 20 young dancers and were able to take only two of them because of limited funding.

A ballet training is a long and hard one with enormous benefits to the individual and society.  The strong work ethic and discipline and focus acquired are vital for all sections of society, whether those learning become dancers or not.

We are currently providing either part or full time bursaries for 12 young dancers from our surrounding area. Some of them have already been taken into the company.

We need R12,040 per quarter or R48,160 per year for those currently with us.  Many of these dancers have been training with us for more than 5 years.

The figure above does not include transport or clothing allowance.

If you are able to assist please contact us for details.  Dance Crew is a registerd NPC.  Please see details on our website.

Parents Days The last week of November we invited parents and grandparents, family and friends to attend the last class of the term for each level.  This was a great success and I was extremely happy with the work that was shown.  Every dancer, no matter the difficult circumstances some of them face, did their best at this stage.  That is not to say they cannot improve – they can and they will this year - if they work the way they did last year.

I personally always find what our guests have to say of great assistance.  I am not talking about compliments,  although welcome and encouraging, teaching is not an easy occupation,  I mean the sharing of thoughts about me, what I am doing and how the dancers re-act and interact within the class environment and in their homes.

Be a Dancer for a Day was a very happy and rewarding day. Once more we had the support of Tribakery in the Blue Route Mall to supply a wonderful food incentive to the brave and hardworking people who attended this event.  Please check out the fun video on youtube Victoria Romburgh shot, whilst doing the class at the same time.  http://www.youtube.com/user/DanceCrewBalletCo   We have three other videos there as well and you might like to check them out too.

Precious Gems DVDs from our 2013 season are available at R100 each.
