Testimonial: Nevaeh Waldner
Receiving the Helen Ferris Scholarship that helped me get to Vancouver was a life changing opportunity, one that I will always be grateful for. It gave me the chance to train with some of the best choreographers, push my limits, and experience the professional dance world on a whole new level. From the moment I arrived, I knew this weekend would be an important step in my journey... The people I met, the lessons I learned, and the confidence I gained will stay with me as I move forward. I’m beyond grateful for this experience and for everyone who helped make it possible. This opportunity has reinforced my passion and my drive to keep growing as an artist. I can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes me.
