Easter showcase in aid of Irish Cancer Society

- By ESTHER HAYDEN

THE talents of the kids from 2 Many Dance Moves were showcased recently to raise money for the Irish Cancer Society.

Becci Whelan of 2 Many Dance Moves organised Dance for Daffodils to help raise awareness and support Daffodil Day.

Becci said that she felt the Irish Cancer Society was a very worthy cause to support.

‘At 2 Many Dance Moves we are passionate about positive social change in our community. This year we decided to donate our profits from our Easter showcase to the Irish Cancer Society.

‘ The Irish Cancer Society is a charity very close to my heart because I lost my beloved dad Nicko Whelan after a short battle to cancer six years ago.’

Becci said that each dance on the night was dedicated to people who was dealing with cancer, those fighting cancer and their families.

She said that money is still coming in but expects to have raised between €200 and €300 for the Irish Cancer Society.

Nicko who was well known for working in the community and was no stranger to the stage himself encouraged Becci to start a dance school in 2008.

2 Many Dance Moves is an energetic and innovative contempora­ry and modern dance company which delivers first-class, safe and spectacula­r dance to children aged from three years up to teenagers. The new term registrati­on takes place on April 7 at The Cabin Arts Hub from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
