Help William Realise His Ballet Dream

William is a motivated, dedicated, committed teenager who is passionate about ballet. Since he was a small boy he has always been a mover, as soon as he heard music he would get up and dance. I took him to ballet lessons and he fell in love with the art form. He would happily do hours of ballet! 

His dream is to become a professional ballet dancer. 

He works hard every day, training to perfect his technique and develop as a dancer. His energy amazes me. He doesn’t stop moving! 

William needs your support to help him get where he needs to be. The money raised so far has done wonders for him. 

Living in Leeds now and training with the Academy of Northern Ballet has changed his life. Since last year William has progressed so much. 

There is still lots of hard work ahead, and expense. 

William is set on going to a top ballet upper school when he is 16. (He’s 15 now) The ballet world is so competitive; all the opportunities a young dancer gets means more of a future. 

I bring William up alone. We are a low income family and life can be hard. I’m trying my best to give him what he needs; William always comes first (rightly so). I don’t want his talent to be wasted. I’m reaching out to you for your help. 

Please help my son’s dream come true. He is truly the loveliest boy you could meet. I know when he is older and in a better position, he will pay your kindness forward to help other dancers. 

He is a joy to watch and he will bring joy to so many people as a professional dancer. 

Please help. The money raised goes towards private lessons which are vital, masterclasses, uniform, Easter and Summer Intensives, travel to auditions, and lots of other hidden expenses like equipment. A ballet dancer is an athlete and you have to train like one to be successful. It’s very expensive. I don’t want William’s family circumstances to hold him back. 

Please help my lovely boy get where he deserves to be.

Thank you so much.
