Joffrey Ballet West LA Summer Program

Hi, my name is Stephanie Baum. I am a dancer. I have been dancing my entire life. Dance is my passion and there is nothing I love to do more. I am raising money to help fund a once in a life time opportunity to attend the Joffrey West Los Angeles Ballet, Jazz, and Contemporary Summer Program. This is a six-week summer intensive program that would provide me with amazing training and connections into the dance world. I received a full tuition scholarship to attend the program, but did not receive funding for room and board or travel expenses. The cost to live in LA for six-weeks is very expensive and my family just does not have the money to pay for it. Being a first-year, full time college student, I barely have money to get by, let alone pay for something like this. Any donation I could receive to help pay for the room and board, travel expenses, and of course new Pointe shoes would be appreciated beyond compare and help to make this dream come true. Becoming a professional dancer is my life goal and dream. Attending this summer program would help me get one step closer to attaining that goal and fulfilling my dream.
