TICKETS NOT NECESSARY, ALL DANCE TIMES IN POSTER - just drop us an email info@clickartsfoundation.org.uk with the time(s) you'll be there please!
July 26th marks our 1 year anniversary of Burlesque sessions for confidence and self love, and in that year we've hosted two "Age of Love Cafe" events with Dr Sharron Hinchliff to promote sexual wellbeing as a key part of wellness across the lifespan, and we will be performing in a show on Sept 12th raising awareness of World Suicide Prevention Day.
We're raising money for our charity CLICK Arts Foundation who gives grants to grassroots arts projects (like this one) - which promote inclusivity, creativity and connectivity. Cuts to arts funding has meant many such opportunities - which can be lifelines within the community - have ceased to exist, and we're helping to change that.
So far CLICK has supported Dance, Arts & Craft, Heritage, Music and Youth projects as well as running our own activities to engage those who might not normally have the chance to participate in the arts.
We're aiming to raise £1000 because CLICK has also agreed to ringfence £500 (£50 per dancer - there are 10 of us) to purchase a costume (corset, tights, shoes) for our upcoming and subsequent shows, with any surplus then distributed in CLICK's next funding cycle.
There are many ways to contribute:
1. Make a donation - any amount - we're always grateful
2. DANCE WITH US!!!
Suggested donation: £5 for one session, £8 for 2, £12 for 3, £16 for 4, and £20 for the full five (any children joining the early sessions £2)
