Gift of Dance Scholarship
At Motions Dance Studio we strive to provide a dance program that teaches students to develop their talent, confidence, self-esteem, and friendships in a balanced and professional environment. We believe in modesty in prices, costumes, dance moves, and time commitment.
We deeply believe that all students should have the opportunity to dance, regardless of their financial or personal circumstances. Because of this, our Gift of Dance scholarship program has been a part of our studio since it began in 2011. Through our scholarship program we are able to provide dance lessons to an average of 5-10 students each year.
Funding for these scholarships comes from our annual flower sales, and a few select fundraisers throughout the year. These students have YOU to thank for their gift of dance. We thank YOU for supporting our scholarship students and giving them the opportunity to dance.
Thank you,
Janese Botelho

"My daughter took her first dance class at Motions before she turned 3 and absolutely fell in love with dancing. A few years later, we just couldn't afford dance class. When I talked with Bri, I was so happy that she has a scholarship program. I have been able to clean, work on costumes and other things for Motions and my daughter has been able to continue to grow in her love for dancing and learn so much from the wonderful teachers at Motions. When asked what she wants to be when she grows up, the one thing that she has always said was to be a dance teacher. "
"The Motions Scholarship program has allowed my kids to pursue their passions in all things dance where they otherwise wouldn’t always be able to. Some years it has meant being able to take any class at all, some years it has been the ability to try out a new style of dance, some years it has provided the breathing space to take on a solo or other challenge. The scholarships have given our family the gift of watching our kids grow and develop not just their dance skills, but friendships and life skills that dance classes embody such as teamwork, persistence, focus and adaptability. These will benefit them forever, and we are grateful."
"The Motions Scholarship program has allowed my daughter to experience the magic of dance, when she wouldn’t have been able to otherwise. She has gained not only dance skills, flexibility and strength, but also friendships, self discipline and determination to push herself. We are beyond grateful at the opportunity, and enjoy the ability to give back in return. We love our Motions Family and all for their support in helping my daughter on her path to achieving her dreams of becoming a Broadway performer."
"We have felt so lucky to be a part of the Motions family. Everyone takes care of everyone else! A huge part of that has been the scholarship program. It came to us after a job loss. At a point where we couldn’t pay for dance classes, the scholarship program enabled my daughter to continue at Motions. Dance is her passion! She will likely continue for many years to come and we are so grateful for all that Motions has provided and will continue to provide for her."
