Carolyn's Story



Carolyn Currey began dancing as a little girl in her parents' living room. Finances were tight, but when Carolyn was ten, her parents were able to place her in ballet classes taught by friends of the family. In turn, she passed what she was learning on to her own siblings. Training continued as she grew older, and Carolyn realized that dance was a passion for her.

Now she has completed training with the Royal Academy of Dance including the Advanced 2 exam, which she passed with Distinction. Carolyn is also a certified teacher with the RAD, an examination and training organization that is recognized worldwide. She has been operating Daybreak Dance Studio for ten years and offers regular classes, summer camps, and workshops. Her experience includes teaching men, women and children, choreographing and directing Christian musicals, and costume and production design. She is committed to training dancers at a high artistic and technical level.



In 2007, Soli Deo Gloria Ballet was formed as Canada's first professional Christian ballet company. Carolyn is currently their main choreographer and principal dancer. She also provides professional training for the company's apprentices.



Classical ballet training since the age of ten; trained under the Royal Academy of Dance method. Completed the Advanced 2 exam with Distinction in December 2006. Took the highest exam: Solo Seal, under the Royal Academy of Dance, May 2007.

Spirit of Excellence Mortgage pay off!

I've been given the opportunity to pay down the mortgage on the buildings that are owned and operated by the Ministry of Role Modeling the Spirit of Excellence!  This amazing favour has been extended by the second mortgagor, and they will sign off on the mortgage completely if we can pay off $23,000!  This would eliminate the 2nd mortgage completely and reduce our debt by one quarter of the remaining balance if I come up with $23,000 to put on it. This will save the charity nearly $40,000!! And help us to have $600 per month saved for the charity!! We won't have to make monthly payments any longer as the 2nd mortgage will be signed off!!

Please help us continue to help the kids we serve - so many local under-served children - who love to come to the Spirit of Excellence Creativity Training Centre!! And who need the opportunity to receive free instruction, mentorship and skills of excellence developed in their lives!!

Thanks for your support!!
