“Shimmy It Forward” Scholarship: application window opens 11/8/24
Stephanie (stephaniebellydance.com) is proud to present the opportunity for one person to receive one month’s free tuition for belly dancing at Alegria Performing Arts Academy! The funds were contributed by those who benefited from previous belly dancers' contributions, and have generously decided to pay (shimmy) it forward. Even better, all applicants who answer all 3 questions will be entered into a random lottery for one ticket to our upcoming "Galentines Day 2025" celebration on 2/9/25 at Alegria!
To apply, please fill out the form at tinyurl.com/shimmyforward by 1/6/25. You will be asked to write one paragraph (up to ~100 words) for each of these questions: 1) how did you become interested in and why do you continue to be interested in belly dancing, 2) what are your belly dancing goals and aspirations, and 3) what impact do you believe the award will have on you? No late entries will be considered.
