Hi. I'm Joel. Last year I received an achievement award from the Royal Ballet School along with a direct entry to attend their extended summer programme in July 2017.

I am incredibly honoured to have received this award and would love the opportunity of learning from many internationally respected teachers with students from all over the world.  

During my stay in London, we will experience training focusing on artistry, master classes, pas de deux, stage craft, improvisation, Royal Ballet repertoire and we will also be given the chance to perform a new creation. This will enable me to develop as a dancer in the craft that I love.

This is a wonderful and rare opportunity and it is also a very expensive one. Unfortunately, the award does not include travel to and from London, fees, accommodation or food and living expenses. I am hoping that some of you might be able to help me to achieve my dream of becoming the best ballet dancer I can possibly be.

I promise every person that believes in me that I will give it my best shot and work as hard as I possibly can.
