Help Andre McGregor Take the Next Step in His Ballet Journey
Meet Andre McGregor, a 22-year-old professional ballet dancer with an unwavering passion for the art form he has dedicated his life to since the age of four. A proud native of Savannah, Georgia, Andre began studying ballet at nine years old and quickly fell in love with the discipline, grace, and storytelling it demands. After graduating from Savannah Arts Academy in 2020, he went on to train at the prestigious Grainger Academy of The Joffrey Ballet in Chicago, where he refined his technique and prepared for a professional career.
Andre’s talent and dedication earned him a place in the second company of Ballet West in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he has danced for the past two years. Although his contract with Ballet West was not extended into the main company, a new and exciting opportunity has emerged. Andre has been offered a position with the second company of Charlotte Ballet in North Carolina for the 2025–2026 season, a major step in his professional journey.
However, making the cross-country move from Utah to North Carolina is a costly endeavor. Andre is the son of a devoted single mother who has supported his dreams every step of the way while working as a public school teacher. While she continues to be his biggest cheerleader, her means are limited. Teachers give their all but are too often underpaid for the invaluable work they do.
That’s where you come in. We’re asking for your support to help cover Andre’s moving expenses so he can begin this exciting new chapter with Charlotte Ballet. Your contribution will help ensure that financial limitations do not stand in the way of his continued growth as an artist.
Andre is incredibly grateful for every donation, feel free to share this link! With your help, he can continue dancing toward his dreams and inspiring others through his artistry.
Thank you for believing in Andre and supporting his journey.
