Tickets are now on sale for the Carrie’s Dream Dance Showcase on February 8, to be held at Aptos High School’s Performing Arts Center. There will be two shows, at 1 PM and 5 PM. The dancers are from the Santa Cruz Pacific Arts Complex. Funds raised from the showcase will go to provide scholarships for young dancers of the Pacific Arts Complex, with 10% of the funds going to the Aptos High School Dance Team.

Carrie’s Dream Scholarship Fund Project is a project of the Santa Cruz Pacific Arts Complex. It was founded in 2014 as a tribute to Carrie Dianda McCoid, a local Realtor as well as the owner of the Steps Dance Studio in Watsonville prior to her untimely death. Carrie had a dream that all the students in our community who wanted to dance would be given that opportunity, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased at the Carrie’s Dream web site.

Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz — Dance and Support Second Harvest!

The good folks at Dance Synergy in Aptos will host Holiday Food Drive on Saturday December 6 from 5:00 to 7:30 PM. You are invited to come enjoy yourselves with food, music and dancing! Please bring a donation of at least two non-perishable food items for the Second Harvest Food Bank. All gift certificates sold at the event will include a $15 credit toward the total value!

They have set themselves a very modest goal of just 100 pounds of food for the food drive, and they are already about 20% of the way there. 100 pounds is a modest goal – and it would be great if our Aptos community could help Dance Synergy blow that out of the water. So go on down and support a great Aptos business and the less fortunate in our community!
