Preparing Students for College and a Career in Dance

3/23/2018

Tara Brown and Sandra Henderson, Secondary Dance Instructor

With generous gifts made to the CCA Fund, the Dance Department was able to take eight students to the National High School Dance Festival in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the first time.

The five day festival, known across the nation for embracing and perpetuating the highest standard of quality in dance education, provided various master classes and performances for our students to attend. In addition, workshops taught by industry leaders, prepared them for the next step in their performing arts journey.

“God is so faithful and has answered our prayers in abundance! We are very proud of the Christ-like manner in which the students represented themselves and CCA.”

They were also provided the opportunity to audition in front of over 70 prestigious college representatives from across the country. Through this audition, our CCA dancers received acceptances from multiple colleges and conservatories (see list below), and were offered hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships for tuition and summer programs.

Congratulations Catherine Blanco, Rachel Blitch, Nadia Laurovic, Jesse McCoy, Brianna Rivas, Jillian Sward, Isabella Thomas, and Amanda Wysocki for all of your hard work, and success!
