Hi! My name is Anzac Corkery and I am fundraising so I can compete at the World Finals of Get The Beat Dance in Singapore on 20-23rd December 2022. I qualified at the Australian Finals at the Sunshine Coast where I danced above my age group and became multiple National Champion.
For the World Finals in Singapore I am competing in:
15-19yrs Ballet Solo
15-19yrs Tap Solo
15-19yrs Open Style Solo
15-19yrs Student Solo Self Choreography
Senior Champion of Champions Solo Dancer
Senior World Mr Get The Beat
I have been dancing as a soloist and in groups at JCDance for the past 11 years. The genres I dance in are Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Acro, and Musical Theatre - but Tap dance is definitely my passion.
Anzac has Autism Spectrum Disorder Level 2 - and Tap dancing is his ‘special interest’. Dance has been integral in his therapy journey - giving him the ability to learn about problem-solving skills, mental flexibility, creativity, physical dexterity, coordination, skills in teamwork, collaboration, self-confidence, and many more benefits. It is a huge achievement for any dancer to make World Finals, let alone someone who struggles daily with the limitations of ASD.
I am seeking donations to help with the costs of flights, accommodation and entry fees. My mum is on a Carers Pension because all four of her kids have ASD (amongst many other co-morbid diagnosises) and she simply can’t afford it.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!!
