In 2004-2005, PACC awarded over $20,000 in scholarships, in 2005-2006 almost $25,000, in 2006-2007 we over $39,000, for 2007-2008 over $55,000 and 2008-2009 $48.000 in scholarships and 2009-2010 over $103, 250. For the 2010-2011 year we have awarded scholarships of $52,850 based on financial need of our students. In addition, we have established a performing arts scholarship for graduating Trumbull High School seniors continuing their education in the field of performing arts (funded by PACC’s benefit concert). The 2006 Scholarship was $2,500 to Bethany Joy. The 2007 Scholarship was $7,000 warded to Christina Chiarelli, Kenny Metzger, Jaclyn Siegel and Paul Tiesler and the 2008 Scholarship of $7,000 awarded to Morgan Griffin, Liz Golas and Cassidy Lewis. Our 2009 Scholarships was $7,000 - the recipients were Jon Mark and Ashli Bickford. Our $5,000 2010 awardees were Joe Miterko and Kelsey Gangnath. Our goal is to increase this scholarship each year for the performing arts! You need not be a student of the Performing Arts Center of Connecticut, LLC to be a company member of In Motion. The only requirement for dancers accepted into the company, are three (3) ballet classes (one company and two leveled), one (1) Modern class and one (1) Company Choreography and/or Repertoire Session per week and one (1) monthly Master Class. The reason for the required classes is to build a close rapport between the dancers in the ensemble and develop a similar style and way of working. There may be additional company choreography and repertoire rehearsals called as needed. Dancers are encouraged not to miss classes, choreography sessions or rehearsals, and to learn all repertoires. There will be a meeting for all company dancers and their parents to explain ensemble policy, obligations and fees.
