Sponsor three young girls to represent England

Aim: To raise funds to help with the significant costs involved in enabling them to go to the Dance World Cup to compete for England in July 20

Who are 

Ella, Bella and Sydney have qualified with a contemporary/Lyrical trio to represent England at the Dance World Cup in Spain in July 2025. There is no central funding or sponsorship for this. The costs are significant including travel, kit, costumes, entry fees, rehearsal costs etc running into the thousands.

Why are we crowdfunding?

There is no central support or funding or sponsorship for the girls. Dance does not secure the same funding that other sports do when it comes to representing your country. Businesses aren’t as keen locally to sponsor when it comes to dance as opposed to say Football. We have been frantically fundraising ourselves locally but there is a limit to how far our reach goes and there is still such a long way to go to raise the money we are having to find to enable the girls to have the honour of representing their country at the Dance World Cup. This is a huge achievement, over 60 countries are competing. We really need your help with raising more money towards this extraordinary achievement and opportunity. Even just a couple of pound donated by a few people will add up.

How we’ll spend the money raised

Money raised will go towards the costs of covering a number of things including but not limited to-

Kit

Costumes

Travel and accommodation costs

Entry fees

Rehearsal fees

Ancillary expenses

As parents we are covering all these costs ourselves. Any amounts raised will really help towards meeting these to support this once in a lifetime opportunity

Community impact

Qualifying to represent the country at the Dance World Cup provides inspiration for so many young dancers in Yorkshire. It demonstrates that the commitment put in from the age of 3 years old pays off. It encourages young girls and boys to achieve something that many local children wouldn’t even realise was an achievable possibility for them from small villages in Yorkshire. It also reflects well on the local community to have one of their own representing England.
