Just by helping one soul, you may not be changing the world in leaps and bounds, the way wished you dreamed you could be – but for that one soul, you have changed their entire universe…
May Soul Stories be a part of that change – to help, heal and inspire that ‘one soul’ at a time…
Gathering up a few special creations to be a part of a silent auction for Transits Dance incredible event to help bring that one soul called Perla, a little closer to her dreams…
If you feel a little bit lost and not sure how to help yourself at times, then they are moments to stretch out and help someone else..
Who is your someone out there? Much love and light xx t
“The pains I go through everyday is not remembered anytime I step onto my world of ballet…
please do not let my dream die.”
– Perla Anthony
Perla is a passionate seventeen year old dancer from Nigeria, Africa, who is fighting for her dreams amongst the hardship of poverty. Her ambition is to become a ballet teacher and share her passion for dance with other young Nigerians, however, with no organised Ballet schools in her community, her road to success will require a fairly unique pathway.
Josephine Woodberry, director of Brunswick School of Dance, is determined to assist Perla in her pursuit. She has been offering filmed ballet lessons while funding Perla’s return to secondary school, and has also launched a ‘go fund me’ page to raise enough money to bring Perla to Melbourne, Australia. Once in Melbourne Perla will undertake a Certificate IV Dance Teaching and Management, as well as regular Ballet training at Brunswick School of Dance.
The students currently completing the Certificate IV in Dance Teaching and Management at Transit Dance are presenting a special preview performance to assist with the fundraising to bring Perla to Melbourne.
On Wednesday the 20th of September, Transit Dance will present two performances of Motion Gallery (performed by first year contemporary students) and one performance of Neon Dreams (performed by the first year performing arts students).
You can read all about these shows here.
