Support Carmella's Dream Dance Journey
Donation protected
I'm Miss Marie and I am a proud mom to an incredible human being and dancer named Carmella. She’s been dancing since she was 1, and from the very first class, it was clear dance is her heartbeat, her joy, her dream. The best part of this journey is sharing it with her best friend!!!! She wants to raise enough money not only to dance but share this experience with a dear friend.
This summer, Carmella has the amazing opportunity to attend Intrigue Nationals, a nationally recognized summer dance intensive that could open doors for her future in the dance world. She has worked so hard to earn her spot, and now we just need a little help to make it happen.
As a single mom, I do everything I can to support her passion—juggling work, classes, costumes, and travel. But the costs of tuition, travel, lodging, and meals for this national event are more than we cannot handle alone.
That’s where you come in.
If you’ve ever seen her dance—or even just heard her talk about it—you know how much this means to her. Whether it’s $10, $50, or simply sharing this page, your support would mean the world to us. Every little bit brings us one step closer to getting her on that stage where she truly shines.
What We're Raising Money For:
Tuition for the summer intensives
Travel Hotels Gas
Lodging and meals during the event
Traveling to Boston for a Conservatory
Traveling to Orlando to Dance
New Dance Gear if there are any leftovers
We’re aiming to raise $4500 to cover these essential expenses. With your help, I know we can get there.
Thank you for believing in Carmella and supporting this journey. She’s ready to work hard, dance her heart out, and make all of us proud!
With gratitude and love,
Mom (Miss Marie & Carmella)
Watch her dance
