Get Richmond to the Youth American Grand Prix

Please help Richmond fulfill his dream of competing in the next Youth American Grand Prix 2022. The largest student ballet competition.

Richmond is a 16 year old ballet dancer in the Mens Professional Division with City Ballet San Francisco. He began his training at City Ballet SF 6 years ago and continues his rigorous training there under the direction of Nikolai Kabaniaev. When asked why he started dancing Richmond says “I absolutely love it. I started dancing because of my love for the art form, the artistry in ballet”. Richmond excelled quickly while overcoming challenges along the way. In 2019 Richmond had surgery on both of his feet and was not able to train properly for nearly 2 years. Richmond returned to ballet just before the pandemic adding its own set of challenges. His love of dance has pushed him through recovery and kept his drive up. Richmond shines on stage, being able to compete in the Gran Prix would motivate and push his strengths forward.
