Help me train at Vaganova in Russia this summer
Donation protected
Hi my name is Jaden Grimm. I am 15 years old and I am training to become a professional ballet dancer. I recently auditioned and have just been accepted to train this summer in St. Petersburg, Russia with some of the best ballet teachers in the ballet world. This would be an incredible experience as I would have the opportunity to be taught by world class Vaganova teachers, perform in a gala alongside Mariinsky professional dancers, as well as take in all that the beautiful city and culture has to offer.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, but unfortunately, I won't be able to attend without some help. The two highly-acclaimed programs I have been invited to attend are Russian Masters Ballet and Ballet Heritage. Each of these programs costs $3250. This does not include airfare or visa fees and neither program offers scholarships.
As many of you know, I have been living away from my home and my family for the last three years training in a full-time Pre-Professional ballet program in Arizona. In addition to maintaining a 4.0 GPA in my online high school, I manage my own schedule and take care of all my own cooking, cleaning and laundry. I train over 40 hours a week in ballet, year-round, and compete in international ballet competitions and perform in various productions with the Phoenix Ballet. This weekend, I will be performing the lead role in the premiere production of the ballet Snow White.
While I am grateful for all of the training and performance opportunities I have, I believe that having the opportunity to receive training and exposure outside of the US will have a big impact on my career. To have the chance to attend these programs would be a dream come true and the next step for me in achieving my goal of becoming a professional ballerina.
As next week's deadline to register for these program quickly approaches, I have very limited time to come up with the funds to attend, so anything you can contribute would be so helpful and I would be forever grateful for your generosity and support!
