Supporting Kayla Reitze after House Fire

Hi everyone,

We’re reaching out to share that one of our valued dance community members, Kayla, recently lost her home in a devastating house fire and is currently displaced. Thankfully, Kayla is safe. We’re coming together as a community to support her during this incredibly difficult time.

If you’re able to help, donations can be made here until May 29th:

https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/9p5P4DEVvO

All contributions will go directly toward immediate needs such as temporary housing, clothing, and essential living expenses as Kayla begins to recover and rebuild.

We also want to be mindful of Kayla’s space during this time. To help avoid overwhelming her, please keep this support effort low-key and refrain from reaching out with questions or drawing attention to the situation unless she initiates. The goal is to support her quietly and respectfully while she navigates everything.

Every bit of support—whether through a donation or by sharing this message thoughtfully—means a great deal.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
