DANCING ANGELS FOUNDATION


Listen Later

Our Story The Dancing Angels Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) founded by Louise Cantrell after an immense tragedy had happened to her.  On March 6, 2012 her husband Edward and their two daughters Isabella and Natalia died tragically in a house fire.  Edward was a Chief Warrant Officer 2 with 3rd Special Forces Group stationed at Ft. Bragg, and had just returned from his 6th deployment.  Isabella was six and Natalia was four.  Louise knew how much the girls loved to dance and created the foundation to honor and perpetuate their memory as well as provide hope and inspiration to other parents who have lost children. Our Mission Dancing Angels mission is to “Celebrate Life Through Dance”. We enable this by providing valuable scholarships to dancers who display immense passion for dance but may not have the financial resources to pursue it fully. We are off to a great start - our first scholarship was awarded in 2014.  Since then, we have awarded four additional scholarships including sending one young lady to the prestigious Joffrey Ballet in New York City and one to the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre.  Our Vision We believe dance is a beautiful way to celebrate life, and that every child who wants to pursue dance should be able to, regardless of financial situation.  We want to help dancers across the United States pursue their dreams, and will build a network of donors, schools and other dance professionals to facilitate this.     [email protected]        www.dancingangelsfoundation.org
