Alice's WonderDance Foundation

Alice's WonderDance exists to carry forward the vibrant, joyful legacy of Alice Aguiar; a fearless, expressive, and generous dancer who moved through life with rhythm, light, and compassion. Dance is more than movement; it's freedom, creativity, connection, and joy. The grant fund is available for both community organisations and young people to remove barriers so that every child can access dance, explore their passion, and grow through movement in a safe, empowering space. This fund supports inclusive, affordable dance programs in the Liverpool City Region, providing grants of up to £2,000 for community organisations and schools. Funding can cover materials and equipment for dance classes, dancewear subsidies for families, support for first-year students on dance-related university programs, transportation costs for children to access dance classes, and emergency support for dance-related needs. The fund prioritizes removing financial barriers to dance access for children and young people, ensuring every child can experience the joy and benefits of dance in a safe, empowering environment. Applications are welcomed from community organisations, schools, and individuals in Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St. Helens, and Wirral.
