The road to Skopje has not been easy. We've organized multiple fundraising initiatives to alleviate the financial strain that comes with such a monumental journey. These dancers, ranging from as young as 9 years old to seasoned returnees to the World Championships, have poured their hearts and souls into this endeavor. Janete Francisco, a standout performer who secured 4th place in Hip Hop Solo Female and 5th in All-Styles Battles Solo last year in Kielce, Poland, is amongst the exceptional talents gearing up for this year's challenge.
