A Chance To Dance Scholarship Foundation

The importance of both art and exercise in a child's life cannot be overstated. Learning to dance not only provides kids with healthy physical activity, but also stimulates creativity and builds confidence. Dance studios are safe and supportive places for young people to gain valuable experiences in teamwork, self-expression, artistic education and more!

Unfortunately, for some in our community, this valuable experience is not an option. Many children who could benefit greatly from having this opportunity will not, simply because their parents cannot afford the cost of lessons, clothing, costumes, etc. To help meet the needs of these students in our community, A Chance To Dance Scholarship Foundation 501(c)3 was established as a non-profit with a mission of providing scholarships to students that need them, to further their dance education.

Each year ACTD Scholarship Foundation hosts The Hope Show, a benefit concert that raises funds for dancers in need. The evening is filled with auctions, dance performances by Premiere Co. and surprise guest artists.

L'échappé et L'arrivée

The motto at Premiere Dance Center - L'échappé et L'arrivée - means "escaped and arrived". This studio was created as a destination, as well as a sanctuary, for aspiring dancers from throughout the Puget Sound region. At Premiere Dance Center, students and parents are encouraged to leave everyday problems, issues, and concerns behind them as they pass through our doors. Our goal is to have a completely stress-free environment filled with an atmosphere of respect, encouragement and motivation.
