Hi everyone, my name is Emma Allan, and I'm a 13-year-old competitive dancer with big dreams and even bigger dedication! Dancing isn't just a hobby for me; it's my absolute passion, and I'm reaching out today because I need your support to continue competing with my incredible dance team for the upcoming 2025/2026 season.

My Dance Journey & Commitment

I've been competing since I was seven years old, and my commitment to dance is serious. I train approximately 40 hours a week to prepare for each season, constantly pushing myself to improve and be the best dancer I can be. My goal is to pursue dance all the way through college, and every hour I spend in the studio is a step closer to that dream.

A Season of World-Class Achievements!

Last season was truly unforgettable! I was honored to be part of both the youth and senior hip hop and pom teams. We had an incredible year, traveling to Nashville and even all the way to Florida for Worlds! My team truly showcased world-class talent, achieving remarkable results: we placed 10th in the world for pom and 15th in the world for hip hop. Being part of such a talented and dedicated team has been an amazing experience.

The Challenge: Financial Hurdles

While my passion for dance is boundless, the reality of competitive dance comes with significant financial demands. The costs associated with competing at this elite level – from tuition and coaching to costumes, travel, hotel, and competition fees – are a constant challenge for my family. Without community support, the heartbreaking possibility of not being able to continue with my team and pursue this dream becomes a real prospect.

How Your Support Makes a Difference

By choosing to support me, you're not just sponsoring a dancer; you're directly impacting a young life. Your donation will prevent a dedicated athlete from having to step away from a dream she's worked tirelessly for. You'll be making a powerful statement about investing in local talent, fostering resilience, and ensuring that financial barriers don't stand in the way of achieving greatness.

Every donation, no matter the size, is an act of pure support that directly contributes to my ability to continue training and competing with my world-class team.

We have an all-or-nothing goal of $4,000. This specific amount is absolutely vital, as it's dedicated to covering all of my core competitive dance expenses, including tuition, coaching, and costumes. Please note, this $4,000 does not include hotel and travel, which remain significant hurdles. If we're unable to hit this target, we'll ensure all contributions are refunded, as we truly need to reach this specific amount to cover these fundamental costs.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a truly meaningful difference in my dance journey!

With heartfelt gratitude,

Emma Allan
