Help Yendi Attend Boston Ballet Summer Intensive

Hi, my name is Nicole Belmar, and I’m a proud mom to my amazing 15-year-old daughter, Yendi. Since the age of five, Yendi has been passionate about dance, dedicating countless hours to perfecting her craft. She currently trains at a ballet company in Maryland six days a week and volunteers every Saturday for the company's Music and Motion Program. She works incredibly hard to reach new heights in her dance journey.

Her love for ballet deepened when she had the incredible opportunity to dance with the New York City Ballet in A Midsummer Night’s Dream at The Kennedy Center in 2022. That experience opened her eyes to the beauty of professional ballet and solidified her dream of becoming a professional ballerina.

This year, Yendi received an exciting opportunity—she was accepted into the prestigious Boston Ballet Summer Intensive! This program is a dream come true and a stepping stone toward her future in dance. She will spend five weeks training with the prestigious Boston Ballet while living on campus at Boston University. We are fundraising to help cover her dance tuition and housing expenses. Your support will help bridge the remaining costs and bring this incredible opportunity to life!

We are raising $4,800 to help with tuition and housing expenses so Yendi can take advantage of this life-changing experience. Her dedication, talent, and perseverance inspire me daily, and I want to give her every opportunity to thrive in the art she loves so much.

If you’re able to contribute, no amount is too small—every dollar brings her closer to this dream. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser with others would mean the world to us!

Thank you for your support in helping Yendi take this incredible step in her ballet journey.
