Building NYCDA Foundation's Scholarship Program
April 23, 2013

Catherine Hurlin of ABT’s Studio CompanyLast night, the New York City Dance Alliance Foundation celebrated dance education at NYC’s Joyce Theater. Highlights of the benefit concert, “Destiny Rising,” included performances by members of American Ballet Theatre’s Studio Company (including Dance212’s Catherine Hurlin), conservatory dancers from Point Park University and many NYCDA alumni.

Since its inception in 2010, NYCDAF’s college scholarship program has provided over five million dollars to more than 100 college-bound dancers. College partners like Point Park, Philadelphia’s University of the Arts and newly added University of North Carolina School of the Arts provide a large portion of the funding and recruit dancers directly from NYCDAF auditions. The next audition will be held July 2, in conjunction with the NYCDA summer workshop in Manhattan. Applications are due June 15.
