Aileen Downey Dance Studio

AILEEN DOWNEY HAD A LOT TO DO WITH THE BUILDING OF THE CLARENCE ST THEATRE MANY YEARS AGO WHEN SHE WAS ON THE BOARD OF THE HAMILTON OPERATIC SOCIETY AND SINCE THEN WORKED ON SHOWS PRESENTED ON THE THEATRE'S STAGE AS A DANCER, BALLET MISTRESS, CHOREOGRAPHER AND DIRECTOR THROUGHOUT HER CAREER. WHAT WAS VERY DEAR TO HER WAS THE DANCE STUDIO SITUATED IN THE BACKSTAGE REHEARSAL AREA WHERE SHE TAUGHT DANCE FOR AS LONG AS THE BUILDING HAS BEEN THERE. IN SEPTEMBER THIS YEAR AILEEN SADLY PASSED AWAY AFTER BRAVELY FIGHTING CANCER. THE STUDIO HAS NOW BEEN NAMED THE AILEEN DOWNEY DANCE STUDIO IN HER MEMORY. THIS STUDIO IS IN A VERY SAD STATE AND IN NEED OF A FACELIFT WHICH I AM SURE AILEEN WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE. SO I AM SETTING UP THIS GIVE A LITTLE PAGE TO RAISE FUNDS TO DO THIS. ALL DONATIONS WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGED ON A SPECIAL PLAQUE. SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE WE WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL.
