Story
I'm 12 years old, and discovered my love for ballet, nearly 4 years ago.
After a few private classes with Mr Mark Swann my ballet teacher, he suggested to my mum. that I should look at developing my ballet further. Before we knew I was auditioning for the Royal Ballet Ballet Associates programme.
A late starter to ballet and dance, I was unsure if I was ready for this next step. But thought, why not give it a try!
So glad I auditioned, as I gained a place RBS Associates. I have been training with them for the last 2 Years. This has been a fantastic experience.
I have decided a dance career is what I wanted to do. I have been working very hard over the last few years.
So this year after many auditions, I was very excited to receive an offer for a full time boarding place at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts.
In addition I was lucky enough to be offered, a Music and Dance Award, which will go a long way to funding the majority of my Dance Course.
I'm so excited to be going to Tring Park School, as dance training and academics is excellent.
Our family and friends have been very supportive and have helped get me this far, but it would be great if you could help support my dreams, of being a professional dancer.
The funding I receive, will need to be topped up, to cover school fees. So ours funds are a bit tight and will not cover everything I need, before I start.
As I go through my year, I will need pointe shoes, additional uniform, music lessons etc. If you feel you could sponsor, whatever the amount I would be truly grateful.
I will keep you informed of my progress.
Kindest Regards
