PAWS & PIROUETTES — TODAY IS THE DAY!

A very special thank you to each and every teacher and dancer who has given their precious time, energy and incredible talent to make Paws & Pirouettes Durban possible. Your generosity means so much, and today you are dancing not only for an audience, but for animals who desperately need our help.

Wishing everyone an amazing, successful and magical show today! May you enjoy every moment on stage and feel incredibly proud of the difference you are helping to make.

Sterilisation is so hugely important, particularly in communities where loving pet owners simply cannot afford the high costs of veterinary care. By helping fund sterilisations, we can prevent unwanted litters, reduce suffering and give more animals the chance of a better life.

Thank you for using your beautiful talents to make a difference. Together, we really can change lives — one animal at a time.

And an enormous thank you to Reddam House Umhlanga for your incredible generosity in donating this wonderful venue. Your support has made this event possible, and we are so grateful.

A very special thank you to Des van der Spuy for the superb coordination of this event and for all the time, care and effort that has gone into bringing it together. We truly appreciate you!

To every dancer, teacher, volunteer, supporter and everyone behind the scenes — thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Now let’s dance, celebrate and make a difference for the animals of Durban.

Paws & Pirouettes — where dancers dance for those who have no voice

🐾❤️ DURBAN, WE NEED YOU! ❤️🐾

ONE AFTERNOON. ONE COMMUNITY. THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS WHO NEED OUR HELP.

Sunday 20th September at 2:30pm, join us at Reddam House Umhlanga for PAWS & PIROUETTES — a fabulous afternoon of dance, fun and, most importantly, making a difference!

In collaboration with Dancers Love Dogs, 100% of the money raised goes directly to vets in KZN for the sterilisation of animals in need. Not a portion. Not a percentage. 100%.

Every teacher. Every dancer. Every person involved is donating their time, talent and passion so that every rand raised can go where it is needed most.

This is your ONE annual opportunity in Durban to help us help the animals.

🎟️ Tickets are available on Webtickets.
Bring your family. Bring your friends. Bring your love for dance — and your love for animals.

A massive heartfelt THANK YOU to Des Van der Spuy for your extraordinary passion, tireless efforts and generosity in bringing Paws & Pirouettes to life.

Thank you to all our wonderful teachers and dancers for giving so generously of your time, talent and dedication.

And thank you to Reddam House College for your kindness and for opening your doors to support this very important cause.

COME DANCE. COME SUPPORT. COME MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

One ticket can help change an animal’s life.
