2023-2025 - Support Chloé's dream @ABTJKOSchool

Chloé just turned 16, she is a french young dancer in pre-professional training. All her energy and passion are focused on her dream: to become one day a soloist in a company, to dance on stage all those roles that inspire her.

As a child, she could not help but dance when she heard music. She discovered the joy of the stage, in exceptional conditions: in 2018, aged barely 10, she won the Dance category of season 5 of Prodiges French TV Show. Today, she remembers above all the intense emotion of performing with a philharmonic orchestra, under the tender gaze of french Danseuse Etoile Marie-Claude Pietragalla, who encouraged her to keep "this little flame that makes her unique".

Beyond her technical skills, Chloé has always carried an artist's soul deep inside her.

Sensitive to all forms of art, in 2021 she discovered cinema: she was chosen by Cédric Klapisch to play and dance the role of Marion Barbeau at the age of 12 in his wonderful film En Corps / Rise . A true happiness for her, while the artistic world was in pause because of the health crisis.

Her young track record in high profile dance competitions is already impressive:

In 2019, she participated for the first time in the prestigious classical and contemporary dance competition, the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP), where she won a 3rd place in Paris, which allowed her to leave to experience the international finals of the competition in New York.

In 2020, she won the gold medal with unanimous congratulations from the jury at the National Competition of the French Dance Federation in Colombes.

In 2021, Chloé received the gold medal with congratulations from the jury in classical and contemporary at the Grand Prix Jeunes Espoirs, as well as the Special Sumiko prize for musicality and artistry.

In 2022, she obtained again a 3rd place at the Youth American Grand Prix in Paris, and was one of the few French women invited to the Finals in the United States, in Florida this time, in April 2023. She was selected to participate in the Final Round of the finals.

During her short term scholarship at ABT JKO School in April 2023, Chloé was invited to join the School on a year-round basis starting in September 2023! It is a dream come true!

But we need help to support the cost of studying and living in New York, which is very high compared to France (tuition fees, pointe shoes, dorms, meal plan, medical insurance to cover potential health expenses, monthly metrocard, telephone, plane tickets for her return during the vacations necessary for her emotional balance, ...)

Our monthly salaries do not allow to support this amount of expenses. Even if we put aside money for years for our children's higher education, unfortunately it is not enough to cover the cost of this project in the USA, which we had not necessarily imagined at the beginning.

Thank you so much for your precious help!
