My Project

I would love to have matching jazz shoes for my dance team. As it is, they have limited funds for purchasing costumes. With all of the academic supplies and other costs that are incurred throughout high school, dance supplies can be a little low on the list of priorities. Despite this, I continue to advocate for my students and their needs because their financial disparity should not be a roadblock to looking unified and feeling amazing in front of an audience.

My students work hard, and their hard work deserves recognition.

I have several performances already lined up where this fantastic group of young dancers will wear their jazz shoes, and I will be booking more community performances throughout the year so that we can share and give back to our local community.

I have an amazing group of young dancers whose creativity and self-esteem truly blossom throughout the semester as I have the pleasure of seeing them grow into a wonderful team. Please help them cover their feet so they can dance safely on all terrains. Thank you in advance for your generosity and consideration.
