Ballet fans can continue to support the Palucca University of Dance in Dresden. On April 7, a benefit event for the Palucca Foundation Fund is planned in the DenkRaum of the Sophienkirche. It operates under the umbrella of the Bürgerstiftung Dresden and specifically supports young dancers at Germany's only independent dance academy. Next Sunday, renowned artists such as jazz drummer Günter "Baby" Sommer, dancer and choreographer Katja Erfurth and violinist Florian Mayer will perform a musical-dance matinee.
"Dance and music tell of the big and small themes of life, of love and pain, of doubt and hope, of passion and happiness. Wordless stories, full of subtlety, thoughtfulness and humor, spiced with a pinch of poetry," says the announcement. Admission is free and donations are requested for the endowment fund. "It is a great pleasure for me, as a student of Gret Palucca, to support the endowment fund as a member of the advisory board and as a dancer and choreographer and to use my dance art to raise money for the endowment fund," explained Katja Erfurth.
