On a recent scorching-hot Sunday, Langley teens Jaine Hillier, Jaden Vukelich and Jaime Alcos were keeping cool by washing cars outside the Vitality Dance Company studio on Fraser Highway.
It was a fundraiser to help pay for their trip to the World Tap Championships this December in Germany.
The three students have successfully auditioned for places on the 2015 Canadian national dance team.
Now they have the task of raising $3,600 each to cover the cost of travel, accommodation, entry fees and other event-related expenses at the championships in Riesa, Germany, considered the Olympics of dance.
Each dancer has to obtain their own sponsors because Team Canada Dance has been unable to find corporate or government assistance.
The car wash raised around $600, and more fundraisers are planned.
A barbecue has been tentatively set for later this month, with details to be announced shortly.
Anyone who would like to assist three talented young dancers to represent Canada against the world can email contact@vitalitydance.ca for more information.
Note, the car wash fundraiser took place before stage two water restrictions were issued by Metro Vancouver.
