The TR14ers are a Community Dance Team based in Camborne Cornwall. We are much more than a dance team however, and believe that through dance we can change ourselves, others and the community of which we are a part.
We are sometimes asked what our name means, well it's very simple, our name comes from our postcode TR14. We used to be embarrassed to say we come from Camborne but we've learnt that where we live is part of who we are and that we can be proud of ourselves and our town.
Dance is a way of expressing ourselves and our values, and the value we've adopted as our motto is 'RESPECT'
The TR14ers first dance workshop took place in October 2005 at the Corn Exchange Camborne which is the Town’s local nightclub. Today the workshops take place in other local venues.
From within the membership 26 Dance Leaders have emerged who host peer led Workshops every week. The Dance Leaders were empowered by Ben Dunks (Dr Theatre link) to raise their self confidence and learn the skills needed to choreograph and teach their routines to the members.
The Dance Leaders have direct ownership of the project as they consult with the members and feed back to the Board of Trustees, which 5 of them sit on, their aspirations and wishes to ensure the TR14ers is led by the membership
The TR14ers has in excess of 800 members aged between 8 -18 years and on average 90 attend free Street Dance/Hip Hop dance workshops every week.
