LETS GET RASA TO WORLDS

RASA IS THE ONLY SOUTH ISLAND DANCE SCHOOL REPRESENTING NEW ZEALAND AT HIP HOP INTERNATIONAL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA, IN JULY. OUR VERY OWN ALLIES DANCE CREW, COACHED BY DANIELLE VEENVLIET, WILL COMPETE ON THE WORLD STAGE AGAINST 55 COUNTRIES AND THOUSANDS OF DANCERS

KIA ORA, ALLIES DANCE CREW FROM RASA DANCE ŌTEPOTI, DUNEDIN, HAVE BEEN COMPETING FOR 10 YEARS AND HAVE FINALLY QUALIFIED TO COMPETE AT THE HIP HOP INTERNATIONAL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. 

10 YEARS OF HARD WORK AND DEDICATION IS WHAT IT HAS TAKEN TO GET RASA TO THIS POINT. 

WE NEED TO RAISE 45K, WHICH WILL COVER THE MAIN EXPENSES FOR THE TEAM. THIS PART OF THE FUNDRAISING, IN PARTICULAR, WE ARE FUNDRAISING FOR THE ENTRY FEES FOR THE 7 DANCERS (1400) AND 3 NIGHTS ACCOMMODATION ($600) FOR THE TEAM MANAGER AND COACH. 

ENTRY FEES FOR THE DANCERS ARE $200 PER DANCER

FOR ACCOMMODATION, WE HAVE TO STAY AT THE OLYMPIC VILLAGE AND WE HAVE TO BE THERE FOR 10 DAYS IN TOTAL. 

WE WILL TRAVEL TO ARIZONA IN JULY AND DANCE ON THE WORLD STAGE. OUR KAUPAPA AT RASA IS TO DANCE FOR THE LOVE, AND WE WILL BE 100% DOING THIS. ALSO WE WILL GET TO TRAIN AND DANCE ALONGSIDE THE WORLD'S TOP HIP HOP DANCERS AND BRING THIS KNOWLEDGE WITH US BACK TO DUNEDIN TO SHARE WITH OUR WIDER COMMUNITY. 

RASA IS THE ONLY DANCE SCHOOL FROM THE SOUTH ISLAND REPRESENTING NEW ZEALAND AT THIS COMPETITION. WE HAVE BEEN ENTERING ALLIES CRRW INTO COMPETITIONS FOR 10 YEARS NOW AND WE ARE SO EXCITED TO BE CHOSEN TO REPRESENT TEAM NEW ZEALAND. WE WANT TO INSPIRE YOUNG DANCERS IN THE SOUTH ISLAND AND ŌTEPOTI IN PARTICULAR, TO REACH FOR THEIR DREAMS AND KEEP DANCING FOR THE LOVE.
