A chance to dance at Disneyland

Tauranga dance teacher Dani Miller wants to put Bay of Plenty dancers in the spotlight, giving them a taste of showbiz on stage at Disneyland.

As the Tauranga co-ordinator for LA Dance Tours, Dani is looking for at least 25 dancers – aged 12 or older – to take to Los Angeles for two weeks in the April, July or September school holidays in 2016.

Dancers will have the opportunity to perform a 20-minute high-energy routine at Disneyland, take classes at top dance studios, participate in workshops and seminars, see live shows – plus tour the sights and sounds of the California city.

Dani says the trip gives Bay performers the opportunity to further their dance career and network with others who share the same passion.

'There'll hopefully be other regional tours going at the same time so there'll be lots of other New Zealand dancers at the same hotel, which will be cool.”

This is the first time LA Dance Tours have had regional co-ordinators and if they can't attract 25 dancers – no one from Tauranga can go.

'I'm looking at multi-genre performers,” says Dani, who says dancers don't need to audition. 'As long as the dancer can keep up the high energy, then they'll be fine.”

The cost to perform on Disney's stage is $2997 plus flights. Dani will lead rehearsals, as well as help each dancer to fundraise for the trip.

Dani's inviting interested dancers to an initial information meeting at Arataki Community Centre on March 4 from 6.45pm. If interested, email Dani at dani@danimillerdance.com
