Support the Chastain Sister's Summer Intensives

Summer Intensives are incredibly important for us to attend because of how much they contribute to our training which will then lead to potential professional careers. Summer intensives are very expensive, especially with the cost for the two of us. We work hard year-round and gaining acceptance to summer programs is very rewarding.

I am Bailey Chastain, and I am reaching out to my friends, family and my community to support my summer ballet training. I am very honored to have been accepted to train with the School of American Ballet (SAB) in New York City during the 2023 summer.

I am 13 years old and I attend Buist Academy for Advanced Studies in Charleston, SC. I am a dancer with the Dance Conservatory of Charleston. With your support, I will travel to New York City and train six days a week for five weeks with some of the most recognized and prestigious ballet teachers in the United States. I attended SAB's junior program in 2021, and it was the best summer I have had. All I want to do is go back.

Hi, my name is Emma Chastain, and I am 16 years old. I attended Buist Academy for Advanced Studies through 8th grade and then began SC Connections Academy to attend the Pre-Professional Dance Program at the Dance Conservatory of Charleston, where I train, daily.

With your support, I will attend the Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB) Summer Intensive 2023. PNB is an amazing school with wonderful training that will help me learn new things and improve my dancing. It is my dream to attend this summer.

Any funds raised will be used to assist pay for tuition, campus housing, purchase pointe shoes, and pay airfare.

Any support that you could provide is more than greatly appreciated. We will keep everyone updated on our progress throughout the program via social media. Please feel free to share this with other friends or family members that would like to be a part of our dance journey.

Thank you so much for considering supporting our training!

Sincerely,

Bailey and Emma Chastain
