This is a project initiated by one of our child sponsor Julia and will see 15 children travel to Europe, Austria in 2025. In spring 2025, these children will fly to Austria together with the dance team and dance teachers to take part in a dance competition. They will have a longer stay in Europe with a training camp before the competitions. 🇪🇺 They are still beginners, but they are making excellent progress from class to class. The final dance will be a combination of ballet, jazz, contemporary and acrobatics. 🩰🤸🏼 You can look forward to great intermediate results🧡.
