Help Support My Daughter’s Dream to Study at the Royal Academy of Dance

From September 2026, my daughter, Rosanna, will begin her training at the Royal Academy of Dance — an incredible opportunity she has worked tirelessly to achieve. This is a once‑in‑a‑lifetime chance for her to pursue her passion for dance at one of the most respected institutions in the world. We are immensely proud of her dedication and determination.

Unfortunately, the financial reality of making this dream possible is overwhelming. While Student Finance will cover part of her tuition, it does not come close to meeting the full cost. On top of this, living in London brings significant additional expenses, from accommodation to travel to daily essentials. Whilst Rosanna will find part-time employment in her spare time, hours will be limited so her income will be very low.

As Rosanna has coeliac disease, the cost of living becomes even higher. She needs safe accommodation with separate cooking facilities, reliable access to gluten‑free food, and the ability to prepare meals without risk of cross‑contamination. These requirements limit her options and raise prices considerably compared with standard student housing.

Your support would help cover:

• Tuition fees not covered by Student Finance

• Safe, suitable accommodation with her own cooking facilities

• Higher day‑to‑day living costs in London

• Gluten‑free food and supplies essential for her health

• Travel, equipment, and other costs related to her training

Any contribution — no matter how small — will directly support her ability to study, stay healthy, and focus on her training without constant financial pressure. Even sharing this fundraiser makes a huge difference.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any support you can offer. It truly means the world to us.
