Help Us Bring This Vision to Life at the ACE Awards!

Hello! My name is Charles Renato, and I’m a tap dancer and choreographer based in Virginia. I’m incredibly honored to have been selected as one of the 15 finalists for the prestigious ACE Awards—a platform that celebrates bold, original choreographic voices.

As part of this incredible opportunity, I’ll be presenting my work at the Dance Teacher Summit in New York City on August 10th, in front of a panel of industry icons. Three winners will be chosen to receive funding to turn their full-length productions into reality—and we’re putting everything into making this performance unforgettable.

To make it happen, we’re launching this fundraiser to help cover essential costs for our ensemble (10 Dancers from all over the country) , including travel, accommodation, rehearsal space, costumes, and more. Every contribution, big or small, brings us one step closer to the stage.

Thank you for believing in this vision and supporting our journey!
