The Dancewave Company, Dancewave’s pre-professional youth dance ensemble composed of 16 dancers aged 13-18, was invited in October 2009 to represent the US at the prestigious Aberdeen International Youth Festival. On January 15th, 2010, after working hard to raise funds for the trip (44% of Company members are on need-based scholarships) Dancewave discovered that the airfare consolidator used to purchase our tickets had deposited a check for $8,585 without booking our flights. The Dancewave Company story and subsequent scam received extensive press coverage, including articles in The Brooklyn Paper (12/9/2009 and 1/20/2010), The Daily News (12/4/2009 and 1/10/2010), and The New York Post (2/19/2010), and a featured spot on NBC’s LX-TV. Luckily, local businesses and community members rallied to Dancewave’s side, including S Clubs Fitness in Park Slope, which announced announced a $10,000 Aberdeen Challenge Match, British Airways, which donated 10 free tickets, and the American-Scottish Foundation. Last month we closed the gap - and now we are on our way!
