Greetings 4SDA Parents and Students,

My name is Ainsley Hammel, and I have been a dancer at 4S Dance Academy (4SDA) since 2018. I am currently a Senior Company (Ballet 4S) ballerina with 4SDA . Dancing has been such a big part of my life with daily classes, summer intensives, and performing at the TBA Festival, a spark formed out of my passion to create a Scholarship Program. I want every student to have the same opportunity to dance at 4SDA, enjoying the teachers and experiences that I have, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.

I worked with my family and 4SDA to develop a scholarship for dancers who need extra help with the cost of their 4SDA class tuition. The 4SDA Leap Scholarship Program applies to dancers in Division 2 and up as that is the level where the they need to attend multiple classes per week to learn and develop and maintain the technique. Dancers at this level make more of a commitment to their love of dance, striving to grow in their passion, and may need some extra financial help along the way.

My goal is to raise funds through fundraisers, events, and donations to cover some of the tuition costs of the 4SDA dance classes. Last year, I was able to raise the funds to award a $2000 scholarship! With the generous help of wonderful families like yours, I hope to increase that amount this year. I would like to invite your support by donating today!

Thank you for your help and interest.

Sincerely,

Ainsley Hammel
