🩰 Pay It Forward: Help Put Dance Shoes on a Dancer’s Feet 💗🖤💛
Dance shoes are not just part of the costume—they are a necessary part of training, safety, and helping a dancer feel confident in class.
Through Elsie Grier Creative Co. LLC’s Pay It Forward Dance Shoe Fund, local businesses, families, and community supporters can help provide needed dance shoes for dancers experiencing financial need.
✨ How You Can Help
🩰 $50 — Sponsor Dance Shoes
Your contribution will go toward the cost of needed ballet, jazz, tap, or other dance shoes for a local dancer.
👯 $100 — Sponsor Shoes for Two Dancers
Help provide two $50 Dance Shoe Fund contributions and receive recognition in our seasonal Pay It Forward thank-you feature.
💖 Every Dance Shoe Fund supporter will receive:
A social-media thank-you
Inclusion in the Pay It Forward sponsor-recognition graphic
A digital “Proud Supporter of Youth Arts” badge
Or to give anonymously
No dancer should feel left out because they do not have the shoes needed to participate. Every contribution helps make dance more accessible, one pair of shoes at a time.

Please include “Dance Shoe Fund” in the payment note.
Dance Shoe Fund contributions will be used only toward dance-shoe assistance for local dancers, subject to parent/guardian and dance-program coordination. Any excess funds will remain in the Dance Shoe Fund for future shoe needs. No child’s name, image, or personal information will be shared without parent/guardian permission.
Many basic children’s dance shoes are priced in the roughly $20–$50 range, while particular styles such as tap shoes can cost more; keeping contributions in a designated fund allows multiple gifts to be combined when needed.
