Help Izzy compete at the Prix de Lausanne
Donation protected
Hi everyone!!
My little sister, Izzy, is a 14 year old pre-professional ballet dancer. Last week she found out that she was selected to be a candidate in one of the world’s most prestigious ballet competitions, the Prix de Lausanne in Switzerland.
Izzy was selected to be one of 88 candidates (44 girls and 44 boys), and is 1 of only 10 girls chosen to represent the United States. This year, candidates were chosen from 425 applicants (333 girls and 92 boys) from 43 countries.
Izzy’s ballet journey is one of pure hope, resilience, hard work, and dedication to her craft. She has pushed through a multitude of obstacles with an extreme amount of grace to get to where she is, and we are all so proud of her.
Being a candidate in this prestigious competition can open doors to many opportunities that will propel Izzy towards her dreams, as ballet schools and companies from all over the globe will be in attendance.
To add to an already amazing weekend, Izzy was most recently awarded the Grand Prix Award at the Youth America Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. This is the highest award given at the competition meant for 15-19 year olds, and Izzy was beyond honored to receive this award at just 14.
We are doing all that we can to support Izzy in the pursuit of her dreams; however, no one can anticipate being accepted into this competition. Your donations will be used to help cover the expenses of Izzy’s additional training to prepare for competition, along with her travel to and from Switzerland, transportation once there, food, costumes, and housing while at the competition.
Izzy is beyond thankful for your support, in all forms. Knowing that she has people cheering her on is just as important as the contributions to keep her going!! She is beyond excited and honored to represent the United States of America and Elite Classical Coaching at the Prix de Lausanne in January and we hope you will join us in supporting her via livestreams.
Below are some YouTube links to Izzy’s recent performances at YAGP Austin. Enjoy! And thank you for supporting our girl! Go Izzy!
