Funding
Can you help us with funding?
Although some of the running costs and expenses are funded by tuition-fees for
the Alessendre Special Needs Dance School and by earnings through performances
by the Larondina Dance Company, they are, by no means, adequate for the
survival, and effective running of either of them.
Here are some of the estimated costs we need to cover and we welcome
donations from any private or corporate source to help us achieve this.
-
To train teachers. This is a continuing expenditure and initially £1,000 per
annum will be needed for training both those who already have dance training as
well as those who have no formal training. Experience shows that 2 full days is
required to give the early training to dance teachers. Those without experience
obviously require more.
-
To repeat the earlier foreign trip. On the basis of our Moscow trip £6,000 is
required to take 10 dancers abroad. This is felt to be a stimulating 2 way
experience for the dancers and their audience.
-
To subsidise dance classes for those who cannot afford to pay the fees (on
benefits, single parents etc) and to help with payment for the hire of the
hall. It is also worth underlining the social aspect of parents being able to
meet during the Saturday classes. A continuing expense of £1,000 per
annum.
-
To purchase and maintain costumes, music and equipment necessary for the
classes and shows. £250 per annum.
-
To subsidise the production of educational and promotional videos. The cost of
this is about £5,000.
