Dansarena and it's branch schools have their own theatre group which gives annual shows in the Gaiety Theatre, Ayr and the St Joseph's College Theatre in Dumfries.

All proceeds are donated to the Clic Sargent Cancer Fund for Children (Prestwick House), and The Karen Mitchell Theatre Group is the charity's longest standing fund raiser. Christmas concerts are held in December in the upstairs studio which still retains the lovely church pews.

This recent donation of £2,712.00 brings the total raised since collections began to over £17,500. We also donated £500 to Hollywood Trust from the Dumfries Show.






Pictured are 7 of the 8 Dansarena pupils selected to appear in
the new 'International Dance Supplies' costume catalogue.
