Hi, I am Ciarra Villena, an 18-year-old university student with a passion for hip hop culture and dance. I have been dancing since I was 10 years old, competing locally and nationally.

This year, my dream of competing globally is finally within reach. My team, Bloodline Megacrew from QLD, has brought home the gold at the Hip Hop International (HHI) Australia Dance Championships and crowned the 2025 Australian Champions in the mega crew division. As national champions, I am very thrilled and feel so blessed to be given the opportunity to compete on the world stage and proudly represent Australia at HHI World Hip Hop Dance Championships, the 'Olympics of Hip Hop', in Arizona, USA at the end of July 2025.

As this incredible opportunity is fully self-funded and comes with substantial costs, I am reaching out to you to consider supporting my journey. A donation through the Australian Sports Foundation will greatly assist towards covering essential travel expenses (flights, accommodation, insurance, etc), competition fees & uniforms, additional training and more. Your support in helping me compete for our country in the best possible way means the world to me and would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

Ciarra <3
