Aloha, my name is Gabriel, I am 14 years old and I have been dancing for 7 years for Pas De Deux Hawaii. I compete in many dance genres (Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, etc.). I continue to be blessed to receive scholarships and opportunities to dance at different competitions and intensive training all over the country. Though the scholarships cover the classes and fees to attend these opportunities, the travel costs for myself and my adult chaperones can be significant, especially from Hawaii. Raising these funds will allow me to continue my training and journey of becoming a professional dancer, to represent males in dance, the State of Hawaii, and my teachers, friends and mentors at my home studio, Pas De Deux Hawaii. Thank you for your support!
