The Ultimate Gift Guide for Dance Lovers
With loving tribute, to Harry Raiend
It is with great sorrow that we share the news of the passing of Harry Raiend, Co-Founder and Principal of UCan2 Dance Studio in early June, 2024. Harry's vision, passion, and dedication inspired countless lives through dance, both in New Zealand and all around the world. His legacy will continue to shine through the studio he and Marie built, and the community they nurtured.
Our thoughts and condolences are with his family, friends, and the entire UCan2 Dance Studio community during this difficult time.
We welcome you to share your memories, photos or condolences in the Facebook group
set up for Harry.
A celebration of his life was held at UCan2, and we have also shared photos of the day in the Facebook group. We appreciate your sympathy, love and care.
