Goal
Hello!
My name is Rylee Baley, and I have been dancing with Stage Door Dance Productions since 2016! In addition to my love of dance, I also love to help people. One of the things I love most about dancing at SDD is that they support local charities during the Benefit Show every year. This year's show is very special to me since Myra's Angels Foundation is one of the charities we are supporting! I have been volunteering with Myra's Angels Foundation since I was 5 years old, helping to pack Angel Care Bags for local homeless and foster kids, donating toys, books, and clothes, and writing notes to go inside the Angel Care Bags. It would mean a lot to me if you would help me reach my goal of raising at least $2,000. All donations go directly to the charities we are supporting, and you even have the option to say that you would like for your donation to go directly to Myra's Angels Foundation! Below is some information about Stage Door Dance Productions and the Benefit Show. Thank you for your support, and I really hope to see you at the Be More Battle!
Love, Rylee
Stage Door Dance Productions is reinventing the dance education model right here in Raleigh, NC. Under the leadership of our Founder/ CEO, Chasta Hamilton, the studios are now in their 15th season, reaching hundreds of children each week.
These children will change the world, and it is an honor to guide them through a small piece of that process.
Our institution operates under the pillars of technique, performance, community, and character. In 2015,we made the decision to phase out the competitive dance program and transition to an Intensive Training Program, now our Be More Performance Ensemble, which is rooted in community performance and peer to peer philanthropy. This journey is documented in the book Trash The Trophies: How to Win Without Losing Your Soul.
The success and continued growth of the program is a testament to our mission to “Be More At Stage Door.”
This year, our Be More Performance Ensemble dancers will be fundraising to raise funds for THREE different organizations: AJ and the Cool Kids, Healing Transitions, and Myra’s Angels.
We will celebrate each of these organizations throughout the year and will formally recognize each at our 2024 Benefit Show, The Be More Battle, which will be held Saturday, April 27th, 2024 at Stewart Theatre at NC State University.
We believe in training amazing dancers, but, most importantly, we are on a mission to inspire the leaders of tomorrow by allowing them the opportunity to use their art and executive functioning skills to produce a show that impacts the incredible work happening in our community. Thank you for supporting us!
