Help Me Take The Next Step In My Dance Journey

Hi, my name is Yaliana, and I’m a 16-year-old dancer from Palm Bay, FL. Dance has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — it’s the place where I feel most alive, most myself, and most connected to my dreams.

This summer, I’ve been accepted into the BODYTRAFFIC Teen Program in Los Angeles — one of the most prestigious contemporary dance intensives in the country. I’ve already been incredibly fortunate to receive support to cover the tuition. But there are still significant additional costs like housing, meals, travel, and essentials for the program — and that’s where I need your help.

I’m raising $3,000 to help cover these expenses and make it possible for me to attend this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

BODYTRAFFIC isn’t just a summer program — it’s a place where aspiring dancers like me train with some of the most respected professionals in the industry. It’s where I’ll refine my technique, expand my artistry, and take meaningful steps toward a future as a professional dancer. It’s an experience that could shape my career and open doors I’ve only dreamed about.

I’ve been working hard for years, training whenever I can, pushing through challenges, and pouring my heart into every performance. Being accepted into BODYTRAFFIC is an incredible honor, and your support would help me fully embrace this opportunity.

Whether it’s through a donation — big or small — or by sharing this page with others, I’d be so grateful for your help. Every bit of support brings me closer to my dream.

Thank you for believing in me, for supporting my passion, and for helping me take this exciting next step.

With love and gratitude,

Yaliana Lopez
