Tavaris Lifetime Opportunity - Debbie Allen Dance Academy

My name is Tavaris Howard, and I am a 13-year-old baseball player and dancer who has been accepted into the Debbie Allen Dance Academy Summer Intensive in Los Angeles, California! Training with the legendary Debbie Allen, known for her work on FAME, has been a dream of mine ever since I first saw her dance studio in a Netflix series three years ago. She inspired me to improve my dance skills and take on ballet, showing me that as a boy, I am welcomed in the world of dance.

Thanks to a scholarship, my tuition is fully covered, but I need your support to make this dream a reality! I believe that training with Debbie Allen will open doors for me beyond my wildest dreams. This experience will enhance and sharpen my skills, allowing me to one day shine on stage in my own Broadway production. Additionally, this summer intensive will create opportunities for me to pursue other goals, such as being accepted into New York's Steps on Broadway and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.

As a young boy reaching for the moon, I aim to raise $4,500 to cover my boarding and meal expenses while I train. Your donation, no matter the size, would be invaluable to my success. My wish is to reach my goal by May 31, 2025.

Thank you so much in advance for your support!

Sincerely,

Tavaris Howard
