Dance Leader Support Fund

$220 donated

Given by 4 generous donors in over a year

Our Dance Leaders give so much. Let's help them get to events, deepen their training and experience our loving support for all they do.

Nationwide

This page is to foster, inspire and nurture the development and growth of DUP in New Zealand. To continue to evolve new and emergent Dance Leaders, there is a need for our Certified Dance Leaders to travel across New Zealand to lead dances, run events, mentor active Dance Leaders, support the creation of new Dance Circles, and invigorate existing regional Dance Circles.

Funding is needed as some leaders have limited financial means and may refrain from overseas training opportunities. This constrains their ability to contribute more of themselves for the betterment of the DUP community in New Zealand

Supporting our Dance Leaders in this way helps to grow the dances in this country, helping both the leaders and the dance community. If you feel called by this, please GiveALittle to help this happen.

DUPANZ's involvement (page creator)

This page has been set up by Nigel Pizzini, with the approval of the Advisory Council.

"As a Mentored Dance Leader I am hugely grateful for the significant amount of time, resources and energy Certified Dance Leaders give to DUP in Aotearoa, New Zealand and leading Dance Circles up and down the country.

I wish to convey our love and respect to these leaders, and nurture their ongoing development, freshness and inspiration by resourcing their ability to travel, share their richness, and attend inspiring and equipping Dance Deepening opportunities overseas".

Use of funds

DUPANZ will offer grants to Certified Dance Leaders to...

a) travel around the country to support Regional Dance Circles or foster dance leading skills development,

b) contribute to their own dance leader development through attending training/deepening retreats/events overseas.

Please consider making a donation of any amount to this fund, and share the link to your networks so more dance leaders can be supported to grow and contribute to the Dance.
