Rounding out our series, we are so excited to introduce Accelerate Dance and Fitness as our third partner dedicated to long-term wellness!

For this final feature, we wanted to bring it back to our core mission: nurturing the whole dancer by fully equipping the support system, cheering them on from home.

This collaboration gives our 2026 recipients access to pre-recorded workshops on stability, balance, and injury prevention, giving parents the professional guidance they need to help protect their dancer's physical health.

By providing these specialized resources, we're making sure families never have to navigate the complexities of dance wellness alone.

Next up, we are thrilled to introduce Bodies in: Motion as our second official partner focused on physical health and conditioning!

A dancer's training takes a village, which is why this collaboration is designed to actively bring parents into the conversation. Through exclusive, interactive live workshops, parents and recipients will get to learn directly from industry experts together, alongside great library discounts, to keep sustainable health practices accessible at home.

True support means looking at the big picture, and we want to make sure families have the practical, trusted tools they need to navigate the physical demands of dance.

We are so proud to introduce Champion Mindset Consulting as our first official partner dedicated to supporting the well-being of the whole dancer.

We all know that behind every resilient artist is a dedicated parent investing endless time and energy, yet resources tailored specifically to help families navigate this journey are so hard to find.

This partnership changes that by opening up vital mental performance tools and emotional wellness resources not just to our 2026 scholarship recipients, and applicants, and their support systems. Together, we are investing in the strength, confidence, and mindset of the dancer.
