Intensive Study Scholarships

The Intensive Study Scholarship is for Intermediate to Advanced dancers ages 16 through adult who have the desire to improve their technical skills, range, and expression through concentrated dance training and faculty feedback.

The Intensive Study scholarship grew out of Danceworks' desire to extend our knowledge to the serious young dancers in our community. We want to reach dancers who will benefit from financial assistance with their classes, exposure to a wide range of techniques, mentoring, job shadowing, performance/choreography skills, and a learning experience about the career side of dance that only an organization with our many facets can offer.

ISS Includes:

• An I.S. Scholarship that covers one third of the regular tuition for the 3 required classes.

• A diverse class schedule set by students and faculty with a required minimum of 3 classes/week. Students may take an unlimited amount of classes on the I.S. Scholarship.

• Faculty feedback given at the end of each session.

• Preferential consideration in subsequent DPC 2 auditions.

Upcoming Audition Dates:

For Fall Session (September-November)-- Monday, November 1, 2010 6:30-9:00 PM at Danceworks
