Program Description:

The mission of the Community Youth Dance Scholarship Program is to provide youth (ages 4½ - Adults) with the highest level of training and performance experiences. The goal of the program is to bridge the gap between the arts and academia by offering quality arts education instructions taught by trained, professional artist-educators.

Students are engaged in structured learning experiences that increase their understanding of dance as a performing art form; thus, requiring a high level of participant and parental commitment and dedication! Parents are required to sign a Parent’s Commitment Statement. The PCS statement clearly defines your responsibility and our expectations.

Each the year the Community Youth Dance Scholarship Program selects 90 students to participate in the program. Students are selected based on their natural ability to demonstrate movement with a high level of proficiency and intellectual competencies. Each student must attend a placement audition prior to admittance into the program.
