A standing ovation, so the arts keep STANDING
On June 24, 2026, a double earthquake struck Venezuela. Many dance and theater academies were left with real damage: cracks, walls, wiring, plumbing. Aplausos de Pie is the alliance of IMPETU Dance Studio, CLAS Producciones, and IMPETU Producciones (IPRO) to rebuild them, with full transparency, from start to finish.
Who's behind this
There are no egos here: there's an alliance. IMPETU Dance Studio (21 years training dancers), CLAS Producciones (10+ years of high-quality musical theater), and IMPETU Producciones (IPRO, which coordinates and manages the resources and repair teams) lead this initiative together, with separate accounts and full accountability.
The plan, in 4 phases
Clear dates and full transparency. This is how we move forward, step by step, so the arts keep standing.
