Throughout my life, I have found a passion for dance and helping others. Dance has acted as a support system for me during difficult times, and I have always loved being able to help others find that support through dance. I could not imagine how my life would be changed if dance were not a part of it, but I have seen how others' lives have changed when they found dance. Participating in the Movement Exchange trip to Panama City, Panama, would provide me the opportunity to combine my love of dance and helping others. While I would be fulfilling some of my dreams as a dancer, I would be helping to provide opportunities and education to others in these communities. Dance has offered me so much throughout my life, and everyone deserves the opportunity to experience what it can do for them. I would be so immensely grateful if you could provide financial support for me to attend this exchange and share dance with the community in Panama City. Any contribution will help me reach my goal of attending the exchange, and it will also provide funding for continued dance education for the underprivileged youth in Panama once I return to the U.S.
