We are really fortunate to have an opportunity to perform at the Main Branch of the Allen County Public Library on Saturday. It’s Books Alive!, a program for children and their caretakers, involving books. FWDC has a commitment to teaching literacy through movement, and based on our selection of books… well, let’s let Liz tell us in this great YouTube video Melissa Kiser at ACPL made:
As Liz said, since we take this show throughout Indiana, we don’t often get a chance to perform it here. If you want to see another successful side of FWDC you may not have experienced, this is the place to be.
Check us out, but space is limited! The library is offering tickets through the childrens’ department starting at 9:00 am.
Because FWDC strives to make dance accessible for anyone, no matter their physical condition or ability to afford lessons, we have a strong scholarship program, funded by support from Wells Fargo and from our generous donors. Children can apply for scholarships at FWDC at the beginning of the academic year (in September), which would give them a free class until the end of that academic year (until June). An audition is held at FWDC, this year on Thursday, August 19 from 6-7:30 pm at the studio.
To qualify for this program, students must be between the ages of 6-17 and have a sponsor who is responsible for transportation and moral support of the student’s interest in dance. This person can be a parent, family friend, or other significant adult in the student’s life.
No dance experience is necessary, but hard work and dedication is mandatory.
To register for the audition, call the Fort Wayne Dance Collective at 424-6574 or email us via the contact page. You must obtain a scholarship application form prior to auditioning, and submit it by Monday August 16
