Today Dance Informa is thrilled to announce four more winners of the Joffrey Ballet School Summer Intensive Giveaway! Congratulations to Las Vegas-based dancer McKenna Meeks, Canadian dancer Nia Lindsay, Mariya Popova of New Jersey and Illinois-based dancer Danielle Fattore. These four applicants have all won scholarships to the 2016 Joffrey Ballet School Summer Intensive of their choice!
In November, Dance Informa, in partnership with the Joffrey Ballet School in New York City, launched the exciting Summer Scholarship Contest. Running through May, Dance Informa is awarding 25 two-week Summer Scholarships – totaling more than a quarter million dollars! Each scholarship covers tuition for a two-week intensive of their choice, plus housing and meals!
Each winner submitted a two-minute video for a chance to win. See two videos below!
