HAD's mission is to create a professional development program for ten hand-picked dancers who will get all the tools, training, support, education, and resources necessary to become elite artists. Our ten selected finalists will compete for three top scholarships awarded at the end of the developmental training period. The largest scholarship starts at $10,000 and given during the 2023 Elevation Gala in June 2023. The Gala event will include delicious hors d'oeuvres for VIP ticket holders, cocktails, a silent auction, and, of course dancing. All finalists will perform a solo piece, and a closing piece as a group. To close our scholarship winners from the previous year will perform and the scholarships will be awarded.
