Natalia's Ballet Competition and Training Fund

Natalia is an aspiring ballerina, who recently completed summer intensive training with the elite company of American Ballet Theatre, as well as Ballet Austin, the 9th largest company in the United States. This year she hopes to compete at the prestigious Youth American Grand Prix. The cost of training at this level, along with the necessary shoes and supplies, is a financial burden for most families. Natalia, in addition to raising funds on her own and selling homemade crocheted items, is hoping you will help her with tuition and travel expenses. This is an amazing opportunity to hone her skills and network within the dance world. To those who have already donated, thank you so much! Your help is greatly appreciated.

Last year, Natalia developed a rare autoimmune disease that parilyzed her stomach and intestines. She required placement of a feeding tube for nutrition and a port for medication. Through all of this she has continued to do what she loves most: Dance. Nothing makes her happier.
