Ten-year-old Tifa Dezic, North Battleford’s only entertainer booked for this year’s Telemiracle, had a great time in Regina March 6.
The Grade 4 Lawrence School student is a dedicated dancer, attending ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop and lyrical classes at Dance Connection four times a week. She’s been dancing since she was three years old and competing in dance festivals since she was six, earning 19 medals for group routines plus a second and a third place medal in solo competitions.
She was selected to perform at Telemiracle 40 and she and her family and friends worked hard to make the trip possible.
“Thank you to all the local businesses who donated a gift to us,” says Twilla Gagne, Tifa’s mother. “Thank you to all family and friends for helping and supporting Tifa to reach her goal and dream to give to Telemiracle.”
Gagne says, “It is all about helping those in need, that need that extra help. It’s nice to see so many kind people willing to help.”
Tifa enjoyed her time on stage as well as backstage where she met many of the cast.
“It was a very exciting experience for Tifa and she had so much fun doing it,” says Gagne.
