Help Rían Ó Braonáin's Ballet Journey

Hello, my name is Rían Ó Braonáin

I have been dancing since I was 9 years old and went to my first ballet class at age 10.Ballet has been my life and passion ever since. I have been training 5 days a week here in Dublin but in order to progress in ballet I need to leave Ireland.

In early September 2023 I flew to London to attend an audition in the English National Ballet School.I am thrilled to announce that I was successful in my audition and have accepted a place to study there for the next 3 years.

The financial costs of pursuing this dream are huge with the tuition fees alone being £21,890 per year plus additional fees such as medical insurance and uniforms.On top of this will be the cost of accommodation and living expenses for the duration of my stay in London.

I would not have been able to make it this far without the love and support of my family and friends.Any donation you could give towards the cost would be greatly appreciated.I would also appreciate if you could share this GoFundMe to your social media platforms or to anyone you think could be of any help.

With love & thanks, Rían Ó Braonáin
