I’m LauraDDances because that’s what I do!

For a donation to the MS Society UK I’ll create a dance/video of a freestyle to any song. Write the name of the song as a note on your donation and your social media handles(Facebook/Twitter/Instagram) and I’ll tag you when I’m done!

Videos will only be made and posted if I receive the notification of your donation!

As a Thank You I’d like to send you a gift in a Free Wristband! Head to my website (via the link in the Thank You confirmation of your donation) and purchase a wristband of your choice and I will reimburse you for the price of one. I will retain the postage and packaging to help me send this to you.

Backstory:

I was diagnosed with MS in 2007 and since then I’ve been able to work, live and dance with support of the people around me, the ms society and a little bit of stubborn hard headed ness!

In short, I am a freelance inclusive dance artist influenced by dance styles like hip hop, contemporary, waacking, licking and dancehall and other forms that interest me, theatre, films, spoken word and music.

I create work that combines these and in lockdown (due to Covid 19) I have been self isolating to stay safe and healthy.

Having said that it limits that amount of space I can dance in - and the only space I prefer is my balcony. So I started A Dance A Day based on a challenge I saw Si Rawlinson (follow him - he’s awesome) start on Instagram - to create a dance/video of a freestyle to a whole song start to finish.

Naturally this became difficult to keep up because of fatigue due to MS and... life... so I came up with this idea of creating from a donation.

This venture is not just a fundraising campaign but I feel mutually beneficial, keeping me active and donating to the MS Society UK - I hope you can share this and I hope I can keep up!

Please understand that it takes a little while to edit, film and to make donations but I’ll endeavour to have your requests fulfilled within 1-7 days of receiving your donation - depending on how many requests I receive a week (it may take longer) But I’ll keep you updated!

I’ll aim to post videos on a THURSDAY but will accept requests/donations all week long.

Remember to leave your socials/contact details so I can send/tag you in the footage. As I mentioned I’d like to thank you and send you a free FMS Wristband (merchandise for the Finding My Strength song - check it out on Spotify and if bough proceeds go to the MS Society UK also) please don’t forget to follow the link to this page below after you make your donation and purchase your wristband (it'll be refunded to you without P+P @ £1.75)

These videos will be resident on my YouTube Channel so I will be able to send them to you even if you are not on social media!

Looking forward to keeping the momentum going for this!

Stay safe, stay home, sending lots of love!!
