Please help Sophie realise her dream of representing NZ at World of Dance USA with her Space Studios Family!

$1,165 donated
Given by 20 generous donors in around 4 months

Fundraising for Sophie to follow her dreams by getting to dance in Anaheim at World of Dance with her Space Studios dance family.

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Earlier this year Sophie's dance studio SPACE sent in 2 routines to the judging panel at WORLD OF DANCE for consideration to be invited to perform at their world finals in Anaheim, California.

Both teams got through! Nxtgen will compete in the Junior Division, and ProTeam will compete in the Adult Division. Sophie its fortunate enough to be in BOTH teams, and is super super excited! Past judges of this competition have been Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough and Ne-Yo - this competition is truely a big deal!!

But this won't be easy for us. Many of you know that the last few years has not been easy. Since Steve's terrible brain injury we have found it hard to get back on our feet. We have both been working our hardest to keep the kids doing the things they love - but we really do need your help with this one............

The teams are AMAZING and what Sophie is learning about teamwork, perseverance, striving to do the best you can etc is giving her a life time full of knowledge and skills to take her down any path she chooses. For anyone who have seen the teams perform you know just how incredible they are, they deserve to showcase their talents to the world.
