"Dear Elina Brein,
Congratulations on your acceptance into Oregon Ballet Theatre School’s 2019 Summer Intensive! We are excited to include you in our very select summer program." - the exciting news we were waiting for from OBT!
This summer I am attending OBT's 6-week summer intensive and need help raising funds to pay for the expenses required to attend. I plan to use what I learn to help shape my goal of becoming a professional dancer as well as help be an even stronger dancer for Ballet Northwest during my senior year.
My passion in life is dance and attending a summer intensive is one step closer to living out my dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer once graduated from high school in 2020. The following is a break down of the costs associated with this summer intensive:
Tuition for 6 weeks: $2,930
(¼ tuition + $50 is due March 1, 2019 -- $782-- in order to secure her spot for the summer)
Room and board for 6 weeks in Portland – staying in dorms $3,640
Dance wear/Pointe shoes: $430
Thank you for reading my story and I appreciate any help you can give either through donations or sharing! I will keep everyone updated with pictures and videos throughout my journey as a dancer!
Sincerely - Elina Brein
