The Nicolette Brooks School of Dancing made huge donations to two charities.
Every year parents and dance lovers are treated to a spectacular dance show by the Nicolette Brooks School of Dancing.
What most people don’t know is what happens to the contributions and ticket sales. This is probably the most beautiful part, all the proceeds are donated to charity and this year it was no different. Nicolette Brooks School of Dancing donated a whopping R80182,00 (combined) to Marietjie School and Janelle Orphanage.
Marietjie school received R50182 and Janelle Orphanage R30000.
“It is a great privilege to share with you that we will be donating proceeds to an amount of R 80 182 to charity,” Said Miss Nicky as she is popularly known, “I want to once again thank each and every parent and student for your contribution towards the celebration of the dance show, you are amazing. I want to reiterate that every student used their talent to make a positive difference to the needy in our community.”
Nicolette Brooks (52) began dancing at the age of three and trained at various dancing schools.
In 1990 she founded the Nicolette Brooks School of Dancing, which has become very active in the local artistic community.

The proceeds of these shows were donated to various charities.
The aim of the 2023 show was to involve the local community and once again use the dancer’s talent and passion for dance to give back to the community.
Well done to a brilliant initiative and making such a contribution to the community.
