Help Mia get to the World Tap Championships!
Donation protected
Hello Family and Friends!
As many of you know, I’ve been dancing with Nancy Chippendale’s Dance Studios for the past 10 years. This year, I’ve been given the opportunity to represent the United States and compete in the World Tap Championships in Riesa, Germany. The director of our studio, Nancy Chippendale, created the American Tap Company to represent the United States in international competition. This past spring, I auditioned and was selected to be on the USA Junior Division team. I will be traveling to Riesa, Germany along with teammates from 18 states from November 23rd to December 1st.
The World Tap Championships is run by the International Dance Organization (IDO) , an organization consisting of 90 member nations representing more than 500,000 dancers from six continents. Since 2002, Nancy Chippendale and the American team have won numerous individual and team world championships, including the Junior Formation in 2018, which is the category I will be competing in.

I have been training over the past years to be ready for this opportunity. I am writing to ask if you would be willing to play a part in helping me accomplish the goal of bringing home the gold medal for the United States. As you can imagine, there is a financial cost involved in traveling to Europe to compete in the “Olympics of Dance.” It is my goal to raise $3,100 by November 8th to help with the cost of my portion of the trip. The $3,100 includes:
Flight - $1,275
Hotel and Transportation - $740
Team USA Uniform and Equipment - $275
Costumes - $250
Choreography Fees - $150
Master Class Tuition Fees - $100
United States Dance-Sport Competition Federation Entry Fee - $95
IDO Entry Fee - $40
Travel Money - $175
Thank you very much for your time and considering being a part of this great opportunity!
Sincerely,
Mia Del Turco
