Getting Anoushka to the Youth America Grand Prix
Donation protected
Hi I’m Anoushka and I’m twelve years old, I live in Rio and I’m training to be a classical ballerina.
This year was an exciting for me! In September I passed the semi-finals of the regional Youth American Grand Prix competition in São Paulo and I was chosen to be amongst the finalists from Brazil going to NYC next April for the finals!
The Youth American Grand Prix is the biggest international student ballet competition in the world. There are regional semi-finals in eight countries around the world; Asia, Europe North America and South America. The finals are in NYC and they bring together talented young dancers with the top schools, companies, directors and teachers from around the world. It’s an honour and an excellent opportunity to get scouted, win a scholarship and train with other talents from around the world.
I hope to be able to join my colleagues in NYC next April which is why I am asking for help. The cost of the trip is expensive and the Brazilian currency is worth 4 times less than the US dollar.
I am trying to raise this money as soon as possible so that I can purchase the tickets and reserve my spot.
The cost includes plane tickets from Rio to NYC and accommodation and transportation ( ten days) for me and my coach in Westchester and Manhattan plus registration fees. If you are in the New York area please let me know and you can come and see me dance!
My Uncle Alexis James who lives in Minneapolis, will be responsible for managing the funds for me. since he has an account in the US. He will withdraw the funds and make payments on my behalf.
I will keep everyone posted with my trip and the competition!
Thank you for watching my video and helping me get to NYC and please share with family, friends and ballet lovers !!

Muito Obrigada!
