Ballet Summer Intensive at Alvin Ailey Dance Co.

Hey everyone,

I am so excited to share with you that I have been accepted into the 3-week Professional Ballet Summer Intensive Program at the prestigious Alvin Ailey Dance Company in New York! It's a huge honor and a dream come true to have been selected as one of the 30 individuals to participate in my group. But I need your help to make it happen.

The cost of the program, room, airplane flight, food, dancewear, ballet slippers and pointe shoes is $7,200, which is more than my mom, as a single parent, can afford. But I am determined to attend this program and learn from some of the best in the world. As a passionate and dedicated ballet, jazz, and tap dancer, I have worked hard over the last 7 years to get to this point, and I cannot let financial constraints hold me back.

This program is an incredible opportunity for me to perfect my technique, learn new skills, and build essential connections that could shape my future career. I am only 16 years old, but I know that this experience could change my life and set me on a path toward success.

I am asking for your support in making my dreams a reality. Every donation, no matter how small, would make a tremendous difference in my life and in fulfilling my dreams. I promise to work hard, give it my all, and make the most of this amazing opportunity.

Thank you for believing in me and my potential. I cannot wait to see what the future holds.

I have included a YouTube video of my contemporary, ballet dance which my sister choreographed for me. Please enjoy.
