Please Help Support My Ballet Journey at CPYB!

I am incredibly grateful for the generosity of my friends, family, and even kind-hearted strangers who have supported my ballet training over the years. Ballet is not just my passion—it’s my purpose. However, the cost of training at this level is significant, and I wouldn’t have been able to pursue these opportunities without the help of so many generous givers.

I believe I am part of the future for the next generation of Black ballet dancers. Access to high-quality ballet training, especially year-round, is both rare and expensive. That’s why I’m so honored to train at Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet (CPYB)—a place where I can grow as an artist and refine my craft alongside incredible teachers and talented peers.

As part of my training, I am required to continue my studies through the summer, and I am thrilled to be participating in CPYB’s Summer Intensive! However, I need your support to make it happen.

Your contribution will help cover:

✨ Tuition

✨ Room and board

To show my appreciation, I will share a weekly blog with exclusive photos and videos from my summer training experience!

If you’re unable to give monetarily, your prayers, encouragement, and well wishes mean the world to me.

Thank you for your time, generosity, and belief in my dreams!

With gratitude,

Karis Pendleton
