PHILIPSBURG:--- Miss Tira Els age 16 will get a step closer to following her dance dream thanks to the Windward Islands Bank Ltd. (WIB) who provided Tyra with a donation to assist with cost associated with her attending the Complexions Contemporary Ballet Summer School in New York.
Tyra, who attends the St. Dominic High School, has been training diligently at the Dance Theater of St. Maarten and has the confidence, maturity and drive to become a professional dancer. Tyra aspires to be the first dancer from St. Maarten to attend the prestigious Alvin Ailey Dance Theater and intends to give back to other young dancers on St. Maarten when she returns home.
The Windward Islands Bank is very pleased to provide the assistance and wishes Tyra all success this summer while attending the Complexions Contemporary Ballet Summer School.
The donation was made to Miss Tyra Els (left) and mother (Florencia Wilson) by Mr. Ferdinand Beauperthuy (right-Marketing Manager).
