Sixteen dedicated young performers are fundraising to attend one of the Southern Hemisphere's most sought-after performance programmes.
The children, all students of Michelle Glover Academy of Dance, plan to attend a week- long workshop at Sydney's Brent Street Studios in January 2021.
Aged between eight and 16 at the time of the trip, they all have a background in dance, theatre and vocal work.
It's the first time in 33 years as a dance teacher that Michelle Glover will lead such a trip.
"It's the right time. I've got this dedicated group of performers learning multiple genres. Many sing and over half of the group was in Hāwera Repertory Society's recent Annie production.
