Help Caroline Attend the Vaganova Ballet Academy
Donation protected
Hello,
My name is Caroline Sowers and I have just been offered the opportunity of a lifetime! I am an aspiring ballerina and I have been accepted to train at the renowned Vagonova Ballet Academy. The Vaganova is one of the best ballet schools in the world, and has produced legends such as Mikhail Baryshnikov. Growing up I would spend countless hours in awe watching Vaganova documentaries on Youtube, wishing with all my heart to attend the school and be one of those students.
Unlike most pre-professional dancers, I trained at a small local ballet school all through high school. COVID-19 hit during my graduation year, and I decided to go to the University of Utah on a full academic scholarship. During my Freshman year I competed at the Youth America Grand Prix where I placed top 3 and was offered a scholarship to Colorado Ballet Academy. I accepted and spent one year in the academy before being promoted to the Studio Company with Colorado Ballet. For the past two years I danced and performed in Colorado Ballet's productions and completed my academic education online, earning a Bachelor of Science. I am now 21 years old and while I have a degree and two years of semi-professional experience in an established ballet company, I have never been able to let go of my dream of studying at the Vaganova. Dancing amongst hundreds of years of history and tradition will give me a deeper understanding of true classical ballet that will allow me to grow immensely as a dancer and artist.
I can hardly believe that I have the opportunity to make my lifelong dream come true, but I will need your help in order to make it happen. The tuition to attend the Vaganova Ballet Academy is $17,500. I would be incredibly grateful for any and all support that you can offer.
Sincerely,
Caroline Sowers
