TRNSCND to UDO European Championships, Germany
Donation protected
Hi,
Elevate Arts UK here! We are a small, self-funded street dance school based in Acton Gardens in West London, working with kids from the local community. Our Under 16s crew TRNSCND (Which is an abbreviation of transcend without the vowels) Have recently qualified for a MASSIVE street dance competition; the UDO (United Dance Organisation) European Championships which is being held in Kalkar, Germany in May 2020. We are all super excited, however we can't fund this alone so are asking for YOUR HELP to get our kids to Germany to represent UK and show what we are made of!
This is an ENORMOUS achievement for TRNSCND/Elevate Arts UK. Our crew have only been together for 2 years and have only just started competing at UDO competitions! We originally had 8 passionate and dedicated young dancers in our crew, boys and girls, aged from 10 years old upwards, all from a working class background, who had ALREADY placed 1st in their category at another UDO competition, and have also placed at 2 other major street dance competitions in the UK. We also have strong freestylers in the team who have won medals and trophies and have competed at World championships. These children will also represent TRNSCND in the solo category in Germany. Since we began on our journey to Euros, 3 crew members have dropped out (a very emotional time for our remaining members - plus this means we now have to go from competing in under 14s to under 16s!) We are lucky enough to have 1 other dancer step in at such short notice, but couldn't replace the other 2, so we are now only taking a crew of 6 to Germany. We really do believe these are our strongest 6 dancers and have every faith they can do this!
TRNSCNDs' work ethic, team work and drive is amazing, they are a proper little family unit, even more so now they have lost crew members, it has made them stronger as a unit. Dance is literally life for them, not just a hobby. With your help we would LOVE to be able to give them the opportunity to go to Germany to compete with the best in Europe and show them that hard work and perseverance pays off.
Our GoFundMe target fundraising total is to raise funds for our 6 young dancers only and would cover their flights, transfers, accommodation and competition entry fee. Of course, we have 1 parent per child attending too, but are only asking for help to get our kids there, we will make magic happen with the rest! We need to raise funds by April 2020. Even if we do not manage to hit our target, each penny will still help the kids get a step closer to their dreams.
You can keep updated with our funding journey on our Instagram page @elevateartsuk or follow our unique hashtag #TRNSCND2GERMANY where we will post updates, pics, videos and shout outs to ALL our supporters and sponsors.
We are confident and excited TRNSCND will put in the hard work required and can place in the European championships!
ANY donation, big or small, will help. If you can't help financially, a simple share on your socials would be fantastic, we are grateful for ALL help!
Thank you,
