Jigsaw Teacher, Marta, Takes Dance Classes to Uganda

(Above: Marta leading a class)

Professional dancer and Jigsaw teacher, Marta, is currently seeking funding to support an initiative designed to bring dance to orphaned children in Uganda.

The aim of this project is to provide 200 underprivileged children with the opportunity to explore their creative sides and to be productive in a way that may not have been previously offered to them.

Through these workshops, Marta will be working on physical exploration of spirituality, finding personal ways in which to express themselves in a universal, physical manner.

Marta’s mission is to bring three weeks worth of immersive workshops culminating in performances over the entirety of the New Dawn Conference. Funds will go towards music systems, necessary expenses and performance costumes. Every donation – small or large – is greatly appreciated. The more money that Marta receives, the larger the benefits will be for these children. This is a not-for-profit enterprise.
