Elite Team NI - Dance Excellence 2025
Donación protegida
It is our pleasure to announce that ‘Uplift’ and ‘Ajendance’ have come together and been formally invited by ‘Dance Excellence’ to bring an Elite team of dancers to LA in April of 2025!
Dance Excellence is an international festival for young dancers bringing together the finest dancers and studios from all over the world. Each year there are around 31 countries and 4 continents that are represented. Dancers will take masterclasses from top industry master teachers and choreographers in the entertainment capital of the world, Los Angeles, CA, USA. Dancers and studios will also have opportunities to showcase their routines at DEX showcases, and also in Universal Studios, Hollywood on the famous Citywalk Stage!
Ryan Moffett (Project Manager from Uplift):
‘’It is with immense pride that we have been invited to represent Northern Ireland at Dance Excellence in 2025. This is a prestigious event and selection is by personal invite from Dance Excellence in honour of dedication to dance, performance and arts education.’’
Auditions were held in May 2024 and students from dance studios all over Northern Ireland were invited to attend. The team of 18 dancers were then selected and will start their training in July 2024 with the creative team of Annika Drennan and Clare Montgomery
Annika Drennan (Project Leader from Ajendance)
‘’What an unbelievable opportunity we have here! Representing our country in the USA and giving those young people this incredible experience. We are blessed.’’
This project will cost just over £3200 per person attending and we have 18 amazing dancers, 9 parents and 3 coaches so the total amount comes to around: £96000, including flights, accommodation, food, the tuition and all the DEX events. Of course, this is a serious amount of money and we need your help to get these amazing dancers to LA for a life changing experience. Not only is this an amazing cultural exchange and the new skills they will learn will benefit all their local studios and friends in classes when they return.
Please support these amazing young people and spread the word. Thank you and God bless.
