Scholarship for Teachers 

Mainewoods Dance Camp invites teachers to learn about introducing dance into their classes. Thanks to the generosity of one of our donors, we are currently offering a full scholarship (plus some travel expenses if you live more than 250 miles away) to Mainewoods Dance Camp this coming August. Please fill out a registration form indicating your session preferences, but no deposit money, and submit with the Information Letter to the above address.

FYI: The National Folk Organization has "Discovery Grants" available to help cover travel expenses to dance camps. For more information, see their website
