I’m Taylor Ciampi.

I’m fundraising for First State Ballet Theatre.

Hi everyone!

My name is Taylor Ciampi and I am currently in my fourth season with FSBT. Since joining this company 4 years ago, I have grown so much as an artist, and I have been given opportunities that have turned me into the dancer I am today. I have danced some of my DREAM roles, and have explored roles I never thought I would see myself dancing. On top of dancing professionally with the company, I am a teacher at First State Ballet School and I am the Director of the National Ballet Competition. Not only does donating to FSBT help the company and the school, but it helps National Ballet Competition! We have awarded over $668,919 in scholarships to schools all over the WORLD to competitors who participated in NBC this past weekend. My goal is to continue to grow National Ballet Competition, and we can't do it without YOU! No amount is too small, and we appreciate your support!
