Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story!

Now aged eleven, I started dancing at 18 months old and got all my love, grounding and knowledge from Stephanie Parrott my first Ballet teacher, I currently attend Elite Academy of Performing Arts in Lichfield as well as the associates programme at Elmhurst Ballet School in Birmingham, fitting in lessons at Ballet Theatre UK in my spare time.

After auditioning with hundreds of other dancers in January, I was offered a place at both Tring Park and The Hammond - two of the UK's leading schools for performing arts. Following the final audition at The Hammond I have been offered a place to start studying there this September. This place, however, is not fully funded - in order to make my dreams come true I need to raise £4500.00 per term for the next five years to top up the bursary from The Hammond.

We have many fundraising events planned already, including psychic supper nights, Black & White Ball, Curry Evenings, Barn Dances, Bingo Nights, Carwash Days, the list seems endless, for all dates of the events go to Facebook : lara Gardner Fundraising
