Enrich a child's life!

Of Moving Colors Productions is hosting the annual

Byrde's Dancers Scholarship Luncheon, an effort that 

brings life-changing arts opportunities to children of all backgrounds.

 

This January, as an adapted version of our former annual outreach known as Kick It Out, OMC will be presenting LOVE REVOLUTION, a community outreach project through our partnership with Big Buddy involving children from all around our city. This program provides a unique opportunity for children to learn under professional dancers in a series of educational dance classes, and perform alongside them in a live production.

 

Many of these children are only able to participate in this program

through the assistance of scholarships. A handful of those students

receive full scholarships; these are the Byrde's Scholars. The Byrde's Scholarships offer a complete experience that awards children with classes, costumes, dance shoes, photos and videos of the performance, as well as tickets for each family to attend Love Revolution.

​

The Byrde's Scholarship is named in honor of the mother of our scholarship's founding benefactor, Susan Lipsey.
