Help Ivan and Polina Become Ballroom Dance Champs

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to read through our fundraiser!!!

Meet Polina and Ivan - a sister and brother competitive ballroom dancing couple!

This is their fundraising page to help them through the 2024-2025 dancing season. All proceeds will go towards their tuition for ballroom dance training, competition dancewear and competition entry fees in 2024-2025.

A little bit about this dancing couple: Ivan and Polina have been a competitive ballroom dance couple for a year before the pandemic hit. After a big break of no dancing (which they were really sad about), in November 2022, they resumed classes! Ivan and Polina are doing so well and their desire to continue competing is strong. Their goal is to become ballroom dance world champions!

Kiddos are talented, persistent, committed and super hard workers. To get closer to their dream becoming a reality they patiently tolerate a two-hour drive (each way) to their dance studio in LA three to four times each week just for training for two years.

Currently, the family finally relocated from Bakersfield to Los Angeles, but family’s income isn't enough to sustain kids' ballroom dance ambitions, so kids decided to do this fundraiser for themselves to help avoid any more breaks from dancing and to continue competing in 2024-2025.

You are always welcome to donate, however, here are a few things kids have come up with for their fundraiser:

1. World's Best Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies (made of all organic ingredients) - $5 per cookie

2. Bracelets by Polina - $5 per bracelet

3. Live Dance by Ivan and Polina - $5 per dance

4. Ballroom Dance Lessons by Ivan and Polina - $5 for 5 mins

Again, your donations will be put towards tuition, competition entry fees and dancewear. We hope you will spread the word and thank you for your support!

With love,

Ivan and Polina (and mom Helen)
