About this opportunity

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 provides grants of up to £250 to young people and families in the Liverpool City Region to support dance-related needs. The fund covers dancewear subsidies for families struggling to afford equipment or dance clothing, support for first-year students on dance-related university programs, transportation costs for children to access dance classes and programs, and emergency support for dance-related needs such as broken shoes or emergency costs for competitions or exams. Applications are made through an online form and require proof of address, ID, bank statement, and relevant documentation for course place or exam costs if applicable.
