SURVIVOR’S DANCE TROOP
10.
LABORIE BOYS’ & GIRLS’ CHOIR
10.
From the community of Grand Ravin, Dennery
emerges the Survivors Dance Troop lead by
Ms. Sophire Edwyn. They arose from participation in a cheerleading competition where their
talent was realized having placed third in the
competition. The group was officially started
in May 2013 and are guided by a set of rules and regulations which
demand acceptable academics from all members of the group, the
need to be respectful within and outside the troop because they are
aware of the necessity of education and respect in everything in society and also because they hold their group to such a standard which
commands this from all members. Survivors Dance Troop consists
mostly of school children and they are all from the same community.
Their goal is to show that when young people come together for a positive purpose they can do great things and to promote unity amongst
the youth and community. Through Survivors the community has
come together so much so that they have an aerobics class with members of the community outside of the troop. Survivors Dance Troop is a
part of a larger organization named the Survivors Sports club which is
reflected in their name. They are currently making plans to implement
Drama into their arsenal of talents training. Survivors has graced the
stage many times in their short existence namely the Mabouya Awards
Ceremony 2014 and the Methodist School Fund Raiser 2013.
