Help Bring Ruana Vasquez To The U.S.
Donation protected
Our Goal
We believe that Ruana Vasquez is one of the world’s finest Brazilian Zouk instructors. She’s engaging. She’s powerful and raw. She’s driven and dedicated. She knows Brazilian Zouk from the inside out; it’s so clearly her passion and her life work. This is why we want her to come to the U.S. to teach. But we want to do it the right way-with a visa.
And for that, we need your help.
Visa Details
We are applying for a P3 Visa for 3 year stay in the US.
Why Ruana?
Ruana travels all over the world teaching Brazilian Zouk, but so do many other excellent dance instructors. For us, Ruana has that special spark that sets her apart. We’re definitely charmed by her curls, but it’s more than that. She brings a unique energy to the dance floor as an instructor who can both lead and follow, as a stunning performer, and as a generous social dancer.
She has proven her ability to build dance communities. We are confident that with her as a leader, San Diego, and wherever else we can manage to have her travel to the U.S., will see remarkable growth in Brazilian Zouk. Our goals are ambitious, but we believe Ruana is the right match for the task. It will also be much easier and less expensive for her to get hired within the U.S. when she has her visa!
Expenses
Legal fees for 3 year term visa $4000.00
Filing fees: $500.00
Flight to bring Ruana to U.S. $500.00
What do you get out of it?
