North Vancouver's Sydney MacLennan is among 40 Lower Mainland dancers accepted onto Team Canada West who will represent the country in jazz/ballet and modern at the International Dance Organization World Championships in Poland this December.
MacLennan trained at OneDance Creative Art Centre in North Vancouver for 13 years.
Team Canada is headed by choreographer Danielle Gardner of So You Think You Can Dance for jazz and modern, choreographer Caitlin Griffin for ballet, and is assisted by choreographer Charlene Hart.
To make the trip a reality, each dancer must raise $3,600 plus costume fees.
To reach that goal, the team is holding a fundraising show called Gala for Gold, featuring performances and a silent a live auction, on Nov. 29 at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster.
