The Victoria Bennett Scholarship (VBS) was established in 2018 when Ms. June’s sorority sister generously paid the tuition for a student to dance for free. What began as a heartfelt act of sisterhood and service has grown into a core pillar of June’s Academy of Ballet: arts access for all.

Since then, the VBS has provided scholarships for deserving and underserved youth, removing financial barriers and ensuring that every child — no matter their background — has the opportunity to experience the joy, discipline, and confidence that ballet brings. When you become a sponsor for a Little Dancer, you will receive a welcome email with your paired participant and will receive monthly updates on their progress through the program! Additionally, you will have the chance to meet your Little Dancer and be honored at the 2026 Spring Summer Empowerment Concert: Metamorphosis III!

At JAB, we believe in this truth: "Our babies will dance."
