It is with heavy hearts that we write to inform you of the cancellation of Foundations The Convention 2024, scheduled for September 21-22 at Messe Congress Graz.

As two young women deeply passionate about dance, organizing this convention was a dream of ours. We aimed to create a unique and inspiring experience for the dance community. Unfortunately, due to low ticket sales, delays from some of our sponsors, and a lack of support from Stadt Graz and Land Steiermark, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the event.

We want to be transparent with you and decided to cancel now rather than closer to the event to allow everyone ample time to adjust their plans. We understand how disappointing this news is, and we share in that disappointment.

However, this is not the end for Foundations Dance Collective. We remain committed to our mission and will continue to offer workshops, organize dance trips to cities like London, hold our weekly dance classes, and hopefully, next year, bring you a smaller week-long dance camp to make up for this cancellation.

For those who have already purchased tickets, rest assured that you will receive a full refund within 14 days of August 8, 2024. We truly appreciate your support and understanding during this time.

Thank you for believing in us and for being a part of the Foundations Dance Collective community. We look forward to continuing this journey with you, and we hope to see you at our future events.

With heartfelt apologies and lots of love,
Genie and Sarah
