The team at Theatre Royal Wakefield will be coming together for a full week to spread the joy of the performing arts. Can you sponsor us and help spread it too?
Staff, trustees, participants and volunteers will be learning a dance routine from Monday 7 October to keep our building alive with dance all week. The event will culminate in a day of dance on Saturday 12 October where we attempt the ultimate relay challenge to keep dancing for a full day.
Here at Theatre Royal Wakefield we run a busy Participation programme, running projects throughout the week that provide inspiring opportunities that improve the wellbeing of and connect our local community. For one week in October, we will bring together participants, staff, trustees and volunteers, asking them to take on the challenge of learning the same dance routine. Stepping Out will kickstart the challenge on Monday and pass the baton on to our Chime participants on Tuesday.
On Saturday those who train in dance every week and those who have two left feet will be coming together to finish the challenge as our Performance Academy students will be joining forces with family, friends and Theatre staff to dance for a whole day.
So how can you support us? Donate now and sponsor our dance challenge to ensure we can keep spreading the joy of the performing arts not just this week but for many weeks to come. Vital projects like Performance Academy, Chime, Stepping Out and Conversation Café enhance lives across the Wakefield district and are dependent on the support of your generous donations.
