The Dance Scholarship Fund is dedicated to providing financial assistance to talented and aspiring young dancers who are committed to pursuing their professional dance aspirations. We recognize that the journey to a professional career in dance is demanding and costly, requiring resources far beyond standard tuition.
Your donations help to cover the full spectrum of a dancer's essential needs, including:
-
Tuition for Classes: Covering the cost of rigorous training, specialized technique classes, and master workshops essential for skill development.
-
Essential Attire and Equipment: Providing necessary items such as leotards, tights, and specialized footwear for various dance styles.
-
Costuming and Performance Fees: Supplying the specialized costumes required for recitals, showcases, and major performances throughout the year.
-
Special Class Workshops and Intensives: Allowing dancers to attend exclusive master classes taught by industry professionals, summer intensives, and specialized training programs that broaden their technique and exposure.
-
Competition Fees: Covering the substantial entry and travel costs associated with local, regional, and national dance competitions, which are critical for performance experience, exposure, and career advancement.
By contributing to this fund, you are directly removing financial barriers, allowing these young artists to focus entirely on their training and realize their full potential on stage and beyond.
The Mayfair Legacy Project is a landmark initiative designed to safeguard and ensure the permanent survival of the history of Tommy Sutton, Mayfair Academy, Mayfair Too, and The Mayfair Performing Company.
For 64 years, Mayfair has been a cultural cornerstone, shaping lives and contributing significantly to the art of dance. This rich history is currently archived across a vast collection of analog and physical media. The Legacy Project’s primary goal is the comprehensive and professional digitization of this extensive archive, which includes:
-
64 Years of Photos and Prints: Capturing the evolution of the academy, iconic performances, and generations of dancers.
-
Historical Documents and Records: Preserving foundational materials, correspondence, and administrative records that document the organization’s journey.
-
Performance Programs: Creating a digital collection of every performance program, serving as a chronicle of Mayfair’s artistic output.
-
Video Tapes and DVDs: Converting irreplaceable performance footage, rehearsals, and interviews from various analog and digital formats into secure, future-proof digital files.
In a challenging cultural climate where historical narratives are often at risk of being forgotten or intentionally obscured, this project is a critical act of preservation. Your support ensures that this irreplaceable chronicle of artistic excellence, community impact, and dedication to dance will be kept alive, accessible, and protected for future generations of dancers, historians, and the entire Mayfair family.
