Carrie’s Dream Dance Showcase on February 8

January 9, 2015 by Seb Frey

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.

Dance Synergy Holiday Food Drive on Saturday

December 4, 2014 by Seb Frey

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!
