Support Carter's Dance Dream at Debbie Allen Dance Academy

Hi! My name is Carter, I’m 13 years old, and dance is truly my life! I’ve been dancing since I could walk—starting in studios in Philadelphia, then Pittsburgh, and now in Maryland. No matter where I’ve lived, dance has always been the one thing that keeps me grounded and joyful. It’s how I express myself, stay focused, and dream big.

This summer, I’ve been accepted for the third year in a row into the Debbie Allen Dance Academy’s Summer Intensive Program in Los Angeles! For four weeks, I’ll live on the campus of USC, train six days a week with Ms. Debbie Allen and other incredible instructors, and grow as both a dancer and a young artist.

This program is life-changing—and it’s more than just dance. I’ll also get to experience amazing activities like a beach day, a Hollywood Walk of Fame scavenger hunt, a trip to Universal Studios, and the famous All-White Party. I’m raising funds to help cover tuition and dance attire for this unforgettable opportunity.

Thank you so much for supporting me and believing in my dreams!
