I was awarded a place with conditional offer, that funding is not
available for as it is a piloted diploma, this is the reason i need
help, i put the actual offer letter, which explains the costs i will
incur, which without help i could not attend to do this course.
It is the DTCD, via the ISTD Academy
(Diploma, Teaching
Community Dance via The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance) heres
the link about the course.
https://www.istd.org/teach/teaching-qualifications/initial-dance-teacher-qualifications/level-4-diploma-in-teaching-community-dance/
I was awarded a place after meeting with the programme lead and we
talked how i was absolutely suitable candiated for this course, due to
the fact they are focusing on inclusive practice and it is pathway i
can acsess due to the fact i did not recieve my ISTD levels of
intermediate, but the DTCD with graduating i would be an affiliate
member of ISTD, i could then potentially teach within this
framework/syllabus, but couldnt enter students into exams which i
never thought possible for someone like myself anyway, but i would
have a recognised teaching QTS, the programmes lead, explained i could
however progress to do a DDE on completion (diploma of dance
education) and she would love for me to do this, and take intermediate
grade as part of that course (the DDE can be funded by the ISTD and
this pathway is a goal to reach) but as the DTCD is still in pilotted
stages, they have not started funding for this course so i need to
fund it myself to secure me a place. i have been told aswell that no
one so far has took a course of diploma level as a wheelchair dance
teacher, before with the ISTD and when i was talking to the programme
lead she said and definately no one has done the ISTD intermediate but
id love to break that ground with you, she sees something in me it
felt like, and i was like im so ready for all the challenges, im ready
to make my life life ambition happen. but i need help with this.
the full transparency of the photo shows, its 250 deposit needed
by 1st July (there is an email i have which does say could it be in by
30th June) but also this shows the full break down and costs
throughout the course which i would need help to fund, but im
literally in process of trying to do what it takes to raise this full
fund, with the deadlined deposit a forefront to secure my place. i
know this is a big ask.
(yes it is fully costing of £3126 -
fundrazr rounds off that is the reason it says £3200, to be clear also.)
i have been a dancer since i was 4 years old, when i attended my first class for my birthday (i added a pic of this and a few more current ones) i have become a wheelchair dancer, due to an incident which happened in 2011, where i was in a RTA and my life was drastically changed, but my goals of becoming a dancer, and a dance teacher, they was always remaining, anyone who has known me for any length of time, will realise how much this means to me though, dance is and always has been, my personality, my lifeline, my life, basically my everything. it isnt something taken lightly, in asking for help, i feel awful but i cannot let another year slip by and me say oh well i tried, but i didnt make it yet again, please help my 2025 be my year where dreams seriously can come true, that might sound cheesy, but honestly in Jan with my dance class we was on BBC and with my dance teacher her and i talked about how i come back to dance and how i do it, and how much it means to me, and that i said i want to be a inclusive dance teacher and inspire other wheelchair users, or disabled people in genral to take dance classes like i do, because dance is for everyone. i feel that this course embraces that too that they want to see me sucseed, the programmes lead was sad to tell me they cant offer the funding as its pilotted.
i cant give up on this, especially that it is in reach now, that this is a life goal of mine, and its taken so long to get this close to it becoming a reality, id ask if you can at all please help me, as any amount will help, even to share my link will be amazing.
i'm happy to answer questions regarding the funds, the goals,
anything ive mentioned in this post, feel free to ask me. thanks for reading.
