We are the Blue Angels, the University of St Andrews Dance Club's competitive and athletic team. We:
Our initial vision was to create the Blue Angels Bursary for the academic year 2021-22. Thanks to generous support and encouragement from around the world we were able to raise £1,105 and create three full and three partial Blue Angels Bursary awards. We are so grateful to everyone who helped us to succeed!
During this process we discovered, however, that there was a much greater need to support potential dancers than we thought. Our membership fees are higher than the recreational Dance Club because we are competitive and need to cover the costs of entry fee, uniforms, and travel. This has acted as a barrier for some passionate, talented dancers and choreographers within our community. We have therefore decided to continue to do our best to make dancing accessible to everyone by raising funds to award more bursaries for 2022-23.
The bursary application and approval processes are administered confidentially by Registry and Student Services: Blue Angels is not involved at all – we just do the fundraising.
We are passionate about dance and want to give everyone the opportunity to be able to experience the joy it brings - regardless of financial circumstances.
Please help us to achieve our vision of awarding the Blue Angels Bursary every year and support passionate dancers in our community by donating today!
Thank you!
