Dancing for charity

What say you on the issue below?

DANCE lovers can expect an energetic and exhilarating display of well-choreographed moves as over 240 dancers will take to the stage in the name of charity at the Dewan Sri Pinang on Dec 25.

MyDance Station Ballet School director Galvin Foo said the charity dance performance by the school’s students would be held in aid of SJK (C) Aik Hua and Buddhist Tzu Chi Merits Society Malaysia.

“We hope to raise RM20,000 for charity. Those who buy tickets from us are also contributing to charity at the same time.

“Some of the dances are choreographed by big names such as Chong Yong Cheang and Steve Goh. So don’t miss the chance,” he said before reporters were given a sneak peek of the performance at the school in Paya Terubong.

Foo said more than 1,500 people were expected to attend the event which has two shows at 2.30pm and 7.30pm, adding that each show comprising 18 dances would last for two hours.

He said ticket sales had reached 50% and the show was held in conjunction with the school’s 15th anniversary.

“The show themed ‘My Dance, My Christmas’ will be the second after the first in 2006. We plan to organise such a show every five years.”
