TESTIMONIALS
Receiving this one-year scholarship from DAC has been an invaluable contribution to my career and development as an artist. One of the things that made the experience so special was the people. Coming from an interdisciplinary background and having followed a less traditional path in dance, finding a sense of belonging within Montréal’s dance community was especially meaningful to me.
Beyond the personal connections, the scholarship provided substantial financial support. It allowed me to focus on my artistic development without the constant worry of financial constraints, which was both liberating and motivating. Knowing that all I had to do was show up at the studio was a terrific feeling, and a great incentive to attend classes regularly. It also encouraged me to explore a wider range of classes rather than cherry-picking.

"I can't express enough how grateful I am to DAC and the entire team for their support. Thanks to the PDP scholarship, I've been able to maintain consistent training, which is so important as a freelance dancer. It has helped me stay prepared for auditions, performances, and other professional opportunities while making high-quality training genuinely accessible.
DAC has given me so much technically, artistically and personally. The teachers are endlessly inspiring, the workshops are a gift, and the sense of community is something truly special within the Montreal dance scene. The DAC team cares deeply about dancers and listens to what the community needs, creates opportunities that reflect those needs, and fosters an environment where artists feel supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow."
