Pensacola Youth Ballet is so happy to have been able to award $6,400 this year in Legacy Scholarship Awards!! The Legacy Awards honors the Matriarchs of Pensacola’s ballet community. It was established to further the art of ballet in our area by providing ballet training and opportunities to its recipients. Each school that participates in our Community Nutcracker performance receives a portion of our ticket proceeds in the form of a scholarship that can then be awarded at their school. Along with their scholarship, each studio is given a brief history of the person the scholarship is named after. This years recipients were LaBelle Performing Arts receiving the Dorothy Lister Legacy Award, Perdido Performing Arts receiving the Nannette Grimm Legacy Award, and Five Star Dance Centre receiving the Bernadette Clement Sims Legacy Award. Congratulations to each of these studios and we so thank you for participating in the Pensacola Youth Ballet’s Community Nutcracker each year. What an honor it is to serve our dance community with this awesome team!!
