Introduce Dance to Carver Heights

My name is Rainee Coakley and I am a junior at Wayne School of Engineering in Goldsboro NC. I have been dancing under the instruction of Artistic Dance Academy for 12 years and want to bring my passion for dance to Carver Heights Elementary. I will be teaching a girl’s dance class once a week to 16 students who have not been introduced to dance nor could afford dance lessons. Carver Heights is a low socioeconomic school and it is my desire to bring ballet and other forms of dance to their attention. There are many links between dance and classroom success and I hope to do all I can to facilitate a love for the art of dance.
   The money I raise will go toward ballet attire (shoes ($10.56), tights ($6.99), leotards $11.50), materials such as dance barre bars ($4.48 ea) and mirrors $5.00 ea), along with  inexpensive costumes for PTA productions (such as $2.00 tutus that can be worn over their already purchased leotards). If I happen to raise more money than my goal, I plan to use it to carry the dancers to a local dance production. 
   I will be starting my lessons on Oct. 5th but the attire and materials will be needed before Sept. 22nd.
  I appreciate any help in funding I can get because it is my goal to have this opportunity given to the students at NO COST to them personally.  Thank you for considering this a worthwhile project and making a donation.
