Hi everyone!

My name is Charlotte Sheffield, and I’m 12 years old. I’ve been dancing since I was 4, I started with ballet, but as I got older, I found out that I love all kinds of dance! I do jazz, tap, lyrical, acro, and hip hop!

I’m part of the Intensive Training Program (ITP) at Protege Dance Project in Victoria. It’s really intense, but I love every minute of it! I get to compete all over Vancouver Island and on the mainland, which is so exciting!

I just recieved the most exciting news ever—I’ve been selected to be part of Team Canada’s Hip Hop Compound team!!!!! We’re heading to Slovenia this October for the World Championships, and I can’t believe I get to represent my whole country!

This is like a dream come true for me because I get to dance and show my love for hip hop on an international stage.

But here’s the thing: all this awesome experience comes with a lot of costs, like championship fees, flights, and training sessions in Vancouver. And since we live on Vancouver Island, all this travel can get super expensive really fast.

I am doing some fundraising to try and help with the costs and if you’d like to help me out, I’d be so grateful. Every little bit counts and brings me one step closer to this amazing opportunity. (And receipts available for Corporate Sponsors!)

Thank you so much for listening to my story! It means a lot to me, and I can’t wait to represent Canada!

Love,

Charlotte
