Beatriz and João Pedro have been selected for the finals of the “Youth American Grand Prix 2018” in New York on the following month of April. This campaign is to help them reach that dream.

Beatriz Domingues and João Pedro Pinho have been participating in dance competitions for several years, and since a very young age they share that same passion - Dance! The hours of hard work and dedication are innumerable, always between regular school classes, which demands a great sacrifice on both sides to arrange them with rehearsals and dance classes.
On December 2017 they participated in the “Youth American Grand Prix”, the Barcelona Semifinals, one of the most  worldwide prestigious dance competitions. They achieved 1st place at the contemporary pas de deux and Beatriz also achieved 2nd place in the classical soloist category, being therefore selected for the finals in New York next April.
However, with this participation comes elevated costs, in transportation, food and  accommodation. But it is the only opportunity that can change the future of these young dancers and that’s why this fund has been created. 
We appeal to all family and friend, and even friends of friends, and all the unknown that are sympathetic with this cause, to help us gather 1.000€ until the 30th of March.

All the money raised will to an account that Beatriz has with her mother and if there is a need for any receipt, the Artedança Academy will pass the respective receipt.

About the author

I’m Beatriz and I am 14 years old. 
I practice Classical Ballet since I was 3 years old. Being a professional dancer is my life long dream and I’ve dedicated both body and soul to this dream!
I’ve been participating in several competitions with the purpose of gaining scholarships to professional schools abroad and it was with that aim that I participated in YAGP Barcelona and was very happy to achieve 1st place in Contemporary Pas de Deux and 2nd place in Classical Soloist.
Going to the YAGP finals in New York is a one in a lifetime opportunity that wouldn’t like to miss! It’s not just for the experience itself but also because I’ll have chance of new doors opening for me that I wouldn’t have any other way!
I’m João Pedro and I am 18 years old. Although I didn’t start dance lessons early on, this was always my passion. 
In December 2017 I participated in YAGP Barcelona and it was very important for me to achieve 1st place in Contemporary Pas de Deux.
Going to the finals in New York is of great happiness to me and above all a big opportunity that I would like to have! Unfortunately, dance doesn’t have much financial support and all the competitions I’ve been participating has been with a lot of sacrifices.
