Support Nia's Ballet Summer Intensive Study Abroad

Hello Everyone!  I am Nia Taylor and I am 12 years old.  I have been a student at the Flint School of Preforming Arts since I was 3 months old!!  I play the flute, violin, piano, sing and DANCE!  I have performed in The Nutcracker and Festival of Dance. I am also a member of the drama club at my school and have participated in several productions.                                   

This year, I became a member of the Flint Youth Ballet Company and I have the opportunity to participate in the “Stars of Tomorrow International Tour."   The tour offers a twelve day summer dance intensive for youth ballet companies to perform in Europe, starting each year in mid-June. The program is for dancers ages 10 to 18. The tour includes master classes, performances, philanthropy and travel in Austria, Germany, and Italy.  

While this is such a great opportunity, I am not old enough to travel alone.  My mom will be traveling with me.   It is a huge cost for airfare,  accommodations, dance classes, land transportation, meals, sightseeing admission fees, and performing.  I am asking for your support and looking forward to this opportunity to explore a different country, participate in dance master classes and cultural exchanges with local kids.

I would be as thankful for any size donation, as it will help me get closer to my dream of dancing aboard. Thank you!
