Help me to get my ballet teaching certification

Hey everyone! As most of you who know me, also know that I have been working endlessly towards my education in ballet, for what feels like five million years…but in reality probably has been over ten plus years with 15 years total for adult dance including salsa, tango, hip hop, modern, jazz, contemporary and African tribal, plus a few more I'm sure I'm forgetting. Throw in three years of COVID (which put a real WRENCH in my dance plans) and my now three times of being rejected from University to finish my BA in dance due to a "capacity constrained major," a loss of a parent and other life stressors the past few years, and I can't help but to feel a bit "challeneged" to say the least: mentally, physically, and emotionally. 

But now, I feel as if I am finally ready to attend the prestigious 2024 ABT Ballet teaching certification, which is the most difficult (and best) in the country, in New York City. I am asking anyone to please help me to reach this goal; this includes the course cost, lodging and roundtrip flight. I work and dance full time (which is already pretty strenuous and exhausting) so these funds would allow me some room to breathe! I am a passionate dancer and I hope that you can help propel me in the direction of success. I have been told relentlessly that there is no "market" for adult ballet classes. I refuse to believe this and think, in fact, the market for adult classes is more desirable than ever. I should know, I am one! I hope to teach adult ballet and to spur the movement of more adult ballet classes, community and education, globally. And perhaps, I will also teach you one day. And maybe even children. But for now, my focus in on adult education, since I have lived through it for the past 15 years.
