Better Lives Through Dance 2025

Dear Family and Friends,

Ever since I saw my very first Nutcracker Ballet at 4 years old, I have dreamed of being part of this magical production. This will be my 3rd year performing, and I’m thrilled to share that I have four roles this season, including Lead Mouse, Lead Angel, and my first Understudy role for Fritz—and I even get to perform on my birthday!

The amazing dance studio I attend, Colorado Conservatory of Dance (CCD), puts on a professional-level production every year. Through this experience, I’m learning what it truly means to be dedicated to a production—the hard work and commitment from the dancers, who have rehearsed 4–5 hours weekly since August, and the incredible volunteers working behind the scenes.

CCD believes the arts, especially dance, are for everyone and should be accessible to all. As a way to show my appreciation for all the opportunities CCD has given me, I have set a personal goal to raise $350 in donations as a thank-you. If my story inspires you and you feel willing to help me reach this goal, please consider making a donation. No amount is too small.

I am beyond excited to be part of not only this wonderful production, but also such a loving and inclusive non-profit organization.

Thank you for supporting my dance journey and the amazing studio that has made it all possible.

Sincerely,

Charlotte White
