Calling for all supporters – without your help, my dream to represent the Eastern Canada at the North American Irish Dance Championships 2016 (Orlando, Florida) cannot become true!
My name is Alexandra Sinyanskiy. I am nine years old and live in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. A little over six years ago, I started Irish dance and since then, I have become a full-time dedicated Irish dancer. Irish dance is what I live and breathe for.
Throughout the years, I have become quite successful and have placed many times in the Top 3 at the Irish Dance competitions, including at the Eastern Canada Regions’ and the United States of America competitions. At the end of the 2014 dance season, I won second place in the under eight age category at the Eastern Canadian Regional Championships. This year, I competed in the under nine age category and was qualified to represent the Eastern Canada at the North American Irish Dance Championships in Orlando, Florida, USA in 2016.
In addition to my weekly training at my dance studio (usually four days a week for up to four hours per day) and individual practice at home, I also spend a great amount of time promoting Irish dance within the community.
The list of expenses and yearly cost to reach my goals is great:
-- The competitive classes’ fee
$3000
-- Training & competition shoes/gear
$500
-- Training camps (once a year)
$350
-- Competition fees
$4000
(travel, accommodation, meet
entry fees)
I always participate in all fundraising campaign conducted by the Irish Dance Studio, such as dancing at community events and selling chocolate. But, to be able to represent Canada at the North American Irish Dance Championships and in order to pay for my family expenses, I have to raise extra money.
I am asking for any help you can offer to support my journey
through the 2016 season as I strive to represent Canada at the North
American Irish Dance Championships!
No amount is too little –
every bit helps and every contributor is part of the larger
goal – it’s a team effort! If you cannot donate at this time,
