Help Poppy compete in USA representing the UK Mini Jazz Team

Hi, we are Jeannene & Martin and we are fundraising for our daughter Poppy, aged 9 to fulfil her dream and compete in The Dance Summit Championships in Orlando Florida, USA.

Poppy is part of a Jazz Team called Sparklers.

Poppy and her team wowed the judges whilst competing in Paris on Saturday 30th November 2024.

They earned 1st Place in their category and won Division Champions.

As if that wasn’t good enough, they were then awarded a place to compete in the Dance World Championships in April 2025 representing the UK.

Unfortunately this is only 4 months notice for us to raise the funds in order for Poppy to be able to compete with her team.

She’s worked so exceptionally hard to get to this point, and for her to miss her place she earned so deservingly seems so unfair.

So we are asking for any support possible to help make Poppy’s dream to become a world Jazz Champion come true.

Thank you for taking the time to read Poppy’s story. We’ve added some more information below about the event she is due to compete in.
