Support MSA Turning Pointe Ballet Students

Welcome to the MSA Turning Pointe Ballet Company GoFundMe

We are Manatee School for the Arts, a charter school in Manatee County, FL

The Turning Pointe Ballet Company is an after-school program teaching students ballet and contemporary dance.

We put on an annual ballet production, participate in many community events, and compete in national dance competitions.

We are seeking help in providing opportunities for our students. Around 60 fabulous students train and perform all school year. There are many ways we can help them with preparing their resumes for college or employment in the dance industry- but these events cost money.

Our coaches train our students for free, and our school helps out as much as it can. But your donations will propel our kids to new heights by helping to pay for competition entry fees, costumes for the annual production, food and drinks for events, transportation, and many other costs.

2025 Expenses your donation directly supports:

-Under the Sea, our annual ballet production performed at MSA

-Yes We Can Dance (Dance event)

-Starquest dance competition

-Showstoppers dance competition

-World Ballet Competition

Please consider donating to our ballet company. Your donation directly benefits these amazing kids immediately, and later by improving their resumes for college and employment from their dance experiences.

Thank you from our directors,
