Summer Ballet Intensives 2024

Hi my name is Karis Pendleton and I am a pre-professional ballet dancer. I’ve been dancing since I was 3 but for the last 4 years I’ve been able to study at reputable institutions. This year I have been learning and studying at Joffrey ballet school in New York City as a first year trainee. It has truly been an incredible year! As part of continued year round training, summer intensives play huge role in strengthening and conditioning. This summer (2024) I’ve been accepted into 4 amazing programs, Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet (CPYB) for 5 weeks, the Washington Ballet Repertory program for 1 week, MoBBallet 1 week and Complexions Contemporary Ballet for 2 weeks. I am in need of support to attend a summers worth of training. The money raised would go directly to these institutions to cover training and room and board. Attending these four programs this summer will not only support and accelerate my ballet training, but continue my preparation for the professional world. If you are able to contribute any small or large amount, I would greatly cherish and appreciate it. Lastly, would consider sharing my GoFundMe with others in order to help me raise support? Thank you so much for your time, consideration, and support.
