Tybee Ballet Theatre offers inclusive and professional dance education opportunities to the youth of our community regardless of financial status. Our Scholarship Program awards students full or partial paid tuition for the entire dance year, regardless of available sponsorship from the scholarship fund. This is our “dance is for everyone” policy.

In order to qualify for our scholarship program students must meet each of these requirements:

 

  1. Be a committed dance student enrolled in skill appropriate Ballet technique class.
  2. Be at least 3 years of age and under 18 years of age.
  3. Have a hard-working and positive attitude towards dance, encourages and is kind to others, and shows respect for their teachers and parents.
  4. Must sign TBT Student Scholarship Agreement Form stating your commitment to attend all classes on time and in uniform.

Tybee Ballet Theatre will award scholarships to students who meet these requirements at the time of enrollment in September. We will not turn away any student that meets these four requirements, regardless of sponsorship. However, if students fail to uphold these values during the course of our dance season, we will place them on suspension until they are corrected.

We appreciate your interest in supporting the performing arts in our community. It is our mission to afford inclusive dance instruction for the entire youth of our community and beyond.

We believe dance is an integral part of life, gaining knowledge in body awareness, physical and mental strength and discipline, and appreciation for music and movement art forms. Providing a professional dance space, quality instruction, and many opportunities to showcase our students’ talent is our goal at Tybee Ballet Theatre.

Whether our students stay with us for one season, or go on to further their career in dance, we hope to offer them an experience that will last a lifetime and the building blocks to advance in a professional career if desired!
