2018 Europe Dance Tour
Canberra Festival Ballet School has organised for some of our dance team students to tour and perform in Europe in 2018.
Our students will travel to London and Paris where they will participate in private workshops with the famous Pineapple Dance Studio, have the opportunity to tour the Theatre Royal backstage and experience wonderful live shows. The tour culminates with our students performing in front of thousands of people at Paris Disneyland.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for our students and with your support, not only will you be helping us enrich the lives of our students, you will be making their dreams come true and providing them with memories that will last a lifetime!
Over the next twelve months we hope our CFBS friends and families will show their support to help these students achieve their goal and embark on this fabulous opportunity.
Our fundraising goal is to raise $15,000. The amount raised will be allocated to the students who will be participating in the Europe Tour 2018 to help reduce the overall cost of the trip.
Your donation will be very much appreciated and directly supports our students achieve this wonderful opportunity.

Fundraising
The students and family's of CFBS have been busy throughout the year with various fundraising projects. From selling chocolates, cupcake stalls, colouring-in competitions to Recycling cans, Garage sales and Disco's. Keep an eye out for our next fundraising ventures:
Fundraising Update
Through our strong fundraising efforts so far we have raised approx $9500. We wish to thank everyone for their continued support and efforts through all of our fundraising activities.
In the coming weeks we look forward to holding more events to support the students both who are travelling to Europe and everyone within the studio.
At the beginning of the year we were inspired to spend some of the fundraising money to create a space for our students outside the studio where they could warm up, practice, keep out of the weather and store their bags.
The remainder of the money raised so far will be allocated to the students going to Europe and will cover the out of pocket expenses such as:
* Dance Uniforms
* Transport to Sydney
* Choreography and Rehearsals
* Costumes
* Workshops
So far the out of pocket expenses are totalling approx $13 000.
Please help us continue to fundraise so we can reach this amount and support our dancers in this amazing opportunity.
