Dancers Inc Foundation
―
The Dancers Inc. Foundation supports educational programs and leadership opportunities to empower young people through the creative art of dance.
The foundation has two signature programs:
Dancers Inc Foundation Scholarship for Leadership in Dance: This annual scholarship will be awarded to one graduating senior at each national event for purposes of pursuing a degree from an accredited four-year institution of higher education regardless of major. The scholarship is in recognition of an individual’s contribution to the advancement of the art form of dance or the use of dance to advance a social cause pertinent to his/her community.
The Lynwood Dyer Prize for Excellence in Dance Education: This annual prize will be awarded to one dance educator at each national event for purposes of illuminating outstanding dance education practice focused on the development of the whole child through the creative art of dance.
