Dancing for the Planet
Earthdancers, a local dance troupe from Sudbury, Ontario will take to the stage March 26 & 27, to not only bring awareness of environmental issues, but to raise funds for organizations that help preserve the earth.
Earthdancers have supported FOE through their annual environmental event for the past 19 years. FOE's CEO, Beatrice Olivastri will be in the audience and says "their dedication to the environment is inspirational".
“Earthdancers will be performing original works of modern dance choreographed by artistic director Denise Vitali and by elleQdance factory's Lauren Pero,” Emily Wood said in a release for the group.
To date Earthdancers have raised more than $76,000, including proceeds for local environmental efforts, said Wood. This year, the Junction Creek Stewardship Committee, VETAC (Sudbury Vegetation Enhancement Technical Advisory Committee), Light Up The World, and Friends of the Earth Canada will receive funds from the event. Last year more than $7,500 was raised.
