Applicants must 'self' choreograph a dance and present it to the judging panel. Applicants are required to submit an essay. The essay must be a minimum of half a page and maximum 2 pages in length, stating why they feel the desire to be a dancer.

Dancers will be marked on their written essay, organization, technique, choreography, personal presentation and grooming, artistry, performance quality and musicality. Dancers will be marked as individuals and not against each other and according to their age.

The recipient of a scholarship will be notified by the end of November and will have their name and picture displayed in the studio and photograph will be used on recital poster 2010. Upon accepting the scholarship, the student is expected to uphold the qualities portrayed in the audition, with respect and self motivation. The candidates must also show excellent attendance as they help to set a great example as a role model to other students.

This year's Joan Kinley Memorial Scholarship auditions will be announced at a later time. Auditions will be announced on the studio's bulletin board and the calendar.  You will be given an audition dance time. Your essay may be submitted at your audition. Audition date will be in January or February of 2011.

Thank you,

Miss Richelle.
