With less than three weeks till they leave, the young dancers of Revolution are picking up the pace even more. Their main focus is training, and the set they'll compete with at the World Champs is looking good - tight, exciting and dynamic. Come check them out at a fundraiser showcase on Saturday 11 October at 3 pm in the Little Theatre, Lower Hutt.
There's no stopping revolution from going for gold - the crew have now raised 70% of their total goal, with only $21,300 left to go.
This past weekend, the crew were busking on the waterfront while the market was on and they went down a treat.
And when they weren't busting their moves, our young dancers helped to sell heaps of delicious home baking.
Onwards to Prague - Going for gold!
We're over half way to our goal of raising $75,000 but we're not slowing down. In fact, we're taking it up a gear and putting on a spectacular dance show.
The show kicks off at 3 pm on Saturday 11 October in the St Pat's Hall, Kilbirnie.
Tickets cost $10 and are available from TryBooking at: https://www.trybooking.com/nz/events/landing/17015
Expect to be blown away by incredible dance as Revolution and other crews from Pump Dance Studios bring their best to the stage. There'll also be special guest performances, as well as raffles and sweet treats baked with love.
We're moving closer to our total fundraising goal of $75,000 - thanks to everyone who's donated to get us to this point.
To show our progress towards our total fundraising goal, each week, we're adjusting the goal that's visible on this page downwards.
The kids have been fundraising like crazy - getting donations for their t-shirts, showing up at markets, sausage sizzles, busking - so we have raised approximately $28,000 so far!! That leaves us with $47,000 to get ALL the dancers over there. Thank you for all your help, your support has been incredible!! It has definitely lifted the dancers spirit as their dreams are starting to become a reality! Love to you all xxx
Revolution did some busking on Cuba Street last Friday, Excited to show how hard they've been working, even the cold rain couldn't dampen the dancers' spirits. . Then, The Post turned up, cameras and all, to share in the excitement.
Revolution to Prague - the golden journey continues!
