Our Story
![]() My son has been dancing for 7 years and loves ballet. He hopes to make this his career and dreams of dancing with a company when he graduates from high school. Summer intensives are a huge part of gaining a depth of training, learning new techniques, and trying on different styles of ballet. Some consider them an essential part of becoming a professional ballet dancer. While many of his peers are going away to intensives, we have not been able to afford them without aid - and as he is on scholarship with his home studio, we cannot accept a position without also receiving a scholarship there as well. Just a handful of days ago, we were contacted by an up and coming intensive in Florida, because they saw an audition video on YouTube that we made in 2007. They were interested in offering him a spot in their program. We corresponded and were offered a full tuition scholarship! Unfortunately, with such late notice, we had no time to save up the costs necessary for traveling, room & board and required dance clothing. The program begins on July 6th. In order to try and raise the funds to make this dream happen for my son, I am holding a raffle for a custom portrait. If you've read this far, I'm very grateful. It would mean the world if you would share this page with anyone you think would be interested.
