Workshops
Duran Events holds a number of workshops throughout the year intended to help girls gain confidence and skill for presenting themselves throughout life, but certainly in various pageant settings.
These workshops, usually a single day, are open to girls practicing from all pageant systems, girls that are not interested in attending a pageant but want these skills in their life, and for girls that are considering attending a complete pageant and want to know more before deciding.
We make these workshops both fun an informative for girls and their parents.
