Dollars needed for dance

The only non-profit dance school in the Okanagan, Creator’s Arts Centre, is preparing to move to a new location, but it needs help. 

"We have been in this current location for 14 years. The existing building needs a lot of work done, and it's not the ideal space for dance," said artistic director Laura Elliott.

Over the next few weeks, the centre hopes to raise $50,000, which will be matched by an anonymous donor as construction on a new studio space begins.

“We are creating a space that makes our students and teachers proud. A studio that reflects our values, including a commitment to the community and education,” she added.

A successful fundraising campaign will also allow the dance school to create a two-level dance for diverse-abilities program.

"It has been a longtime dream of the studios to start a dance program for students with special needs. One of the main problems in this building is the soundproofing is quite poor, which can effect students who have a hard time with excess noise," Elliot added.
