A Message From The Organiser:
I am heartbroken to see the effects of the floods in Pakistan. Having lived a good chunk of my life in Multan and Lahore, I wanted to do something more than just having donated. Having also a lot of family and friends there, this touches close to my heart. I reached out to some friends and advisors on what could I do more of and a charity event came to mind. All of the proceeds from the class will be donated straight to the DEC Pakistan Flood Appeal. They are a great charity which bring together 15 leading UK aid charities to raise funds quickly and efficiently at times of crisis overseas.
I would also urge you to donate regardless if unable to attend. As of now, the class is just for in person. However, I will be recording the class and you can attend Online with the recorded link. Simply pop a note or drop me a message on my instagram and I can arrange that. (IG @raimuitfum)
I want to massively thank Danceworks for supporting me in this and my close circle of friends and advisors.
