With heavy hearts, we share the news that our dear friend and business partner, Chuck Maldonado, recently lost his beloved mother on May 2nd. As many of you know, Chuck is not only a legend in the dance world, but a source of light, love, and energy for everyone he meets.

In this difficult time, Tallie and I are creating this GoFundMe to support Chuck and his family with the many unexpected expenses that come with such a heartbreaking loss. We hope to offer them some comfort and ease as they navigate through this time of grief.

We ask our entire dance community, The Stu LA family, and all those who have been touched by Chuck’s presence to come together in love and support. No donation is too small—anything and everything helps.

Let’s show up for someone who has given so much to all of us. Thank you for your love, prayers, and generosity.

With love,

Aliya & Tallie Brinson
