About Fundraiser
Fundraiser by Prague in Motion (Motion Dance Centre)
We are a group of 3 incredibly dedicated dancers, who train with Motion Dance Centre in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia.
We compete in a multitude of styles including ballet, jazz, acro, contemporary, hip hop and tap. In October, at the advice of our teacher Miss Sara, we each auditioned with World Performers Canada for a spot on their team. World Performers Canada is a part of a global dance competition that takes place in a new country every year. This year, it is in Prague, Czech Republic.
- Alessia Silveyra 13 years old – Discipline: Hip Hop and Contemporary
- Coralee Kelly 13 years old - Discipline: Acro
- Michaela Saloman 12 years old – Discipline: Jazz, Contemporary and Acro
Dance World Cup represents 120,000 competitors from 65 countries. Dance World Cup is the greatest all-genre dance competition in the world for children and young adults around the world.
Our dancers know they can’t do this without help. They have hosted bake sales, friendship bracelet sales, and danceathons. They need your help to get them there. They have decided to approach fundraising as a team. They care about each other, and the bond they have. To help them get to Prague, we need to fundraise $15,000 combined (of the $30,000 total).
- Out of province training and choreography
- Team registration fees
- Dance costumes
- Travel to Toronto for the full dress rehearsal
- Travel and accommodations to Prague, Czech Republic
- Duration 10 days.
They need your help. Let’s show them our love and support by making their dream of representing our province on the world stage come true. LET’S GO NOVA SCOTIA!!! LET’S GO CANADA!!!
Here were the words from our dancers:
Dance has been a shared passion for each of us from a very young age. It's not just a hobby for us, it's a way of life. We have dedicated countless hours to perfecting our form, technique and for Miss Sara, our pointed feet. The opportunity to showcase homegrown Nova Scotia talent while representing our country on a global stage would be a dream come true. We believe that we embody the spirit of Canada - diverse, resilient, and passionate.
Our dance style reflects this spirit. We each have trained in various dance forms, which has allowed us to bring a unique blend of creativity and technique to our performances. We understand the responsibility that comes with representing our country. We are ready to take on this challenge and make Canada PROUD. We have the discipline, the dedication, and the determination needed to succeed at this level. We believe that dance is a powerful tool for cultural exchange. It transcends language barriers and brings people together. By representing Team Canada, we will share our rich cultural heritage with the world.
We also strongly feel that if we can confidently and passionately share our talents on a world stage, we can raise awareness to the talent that is in our province. We each have a strong desire to become professional dancers when we finish high school, but already feel the mounting pressure of knowing that likely means we have to leave behind our family, our friends, and the only home we have ever known. There are not professional training opportunities in Nova Scotia like there are in Alberta, Ontario, Winnipeg and Montréal. We hope that showcasing our talent will further the mission of bringing more opportunities to other Nova Scotian dancers, while keeping talent in our province.

We promise to give our all and make our province, and our country proud. We know this is a big ask of you but would appreciate any assistance you can provide in making our dreams come true through financial support. Thank you for considering us.
