CY Danceworks - COVID Relief Fund
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Kristie, and I am Co-Director of Str8jacket, a HipHop dance team based in CY Danceworks dance studio. Str8jacket is setting up this GoFundMe on behalf of Chantelle York, CY Danceworks studio owner, to help keep our home afloat during these difficult times.
CY Danceworks has not been immune to the economic impacts of COVID-19. They lost roughly 1/3 of their clients during the time of shelter-in-place, and with the new Fall season soon beginning, less than half their clients are returning. The summer of 2020 marked the studio's 10 year anniversary, and while it was originally to be a time of celebration to commemorate their milestone, it now marks a time of struggle to remain in business.
CY Danceworks has been home to our adult competitive HipHop team, Str8jacket, as well as to our youth competitive HipHop team, Krazy8. It is a family oriented studio that embraces creative expression and values self improvement. Str8jacket would never have been able to gain the success it has today without the full support of Chantelle York, studio owner of CY Danceworks.
Along with CY Danceworks offering studio classes, the studio also hosts free community events for the Peninsula dance community including open sessions and jams for freestylers. With several Peninsula dance studios at risk of closing during this time, a donation to us will not only save our studio but also help preserve the Peninsula dance community.
In order to remain in business till the end of this year, we need to help raise $30,000 to cover rent, operating costs, staffing, and utilities.
We are so grateful for any amount of help you are able to provide for the studio. If you are unable to contribute a monetary donation, simply sharing our page is hugely appreciated. We thank the community for all your support in the past, and we especially thank you for your support now. We are so grateful for each and every one of you. Together, we can get through this pandemic!
In community,
Str8jacket
