CHARITY IN ACTION
What is ACTION TAKES ACTION?
Established in 2017, Action takes Action is a charity arm of our business. Each year we rally behind a different worthy causes to raise awareness and much needed funds for others in need.
Why did we decided to create a charity arm of the business?
Action takes Action is a project that has long been on the heart of Director Jodie Williams.
Feeling grateful for the wonderful dance community we have it is important to encourage the students to look beyond our safe and nurturing environment, grow in generosity and character and support the wider community in need.
““My heart is that the strong and supportive community we have built here at Action Dance Academy can extend an arm to those with a greater need and make a difference in the lives of people in the wider community that perhaps don’t have the same opportunities and a safe place to land.” ”
