The Levesque Dance Scholarship Award
This Scholarship is in honor of Director Rachele’s parents, Robert and Lelia Levesque, who always supported her dance education. As if raising seven children wasn’t enough, they still managed to support years of dance classes, private lessons and other training. They encouraged her to always put her best foot forward and keep her dreams in the forefront. They sat through every recital and performance proudly as they watched their daughter grow as a dancer. The values they have instilled in Rachele are what make her receptive to children and families throughout the community.
Rachele would like to extend that opportunity to her students. The Recipient of this award will be given the opportunity to enroll in our Competition Team Classes FREE of charge for one year. To honor her parents this yearly scholarship is awarded to a student who demonstrates the desire to learn and further their dance education and meet special requirements.
The award will be announced at Dress Rehearsal each year. Students must be 10 to 18 years of age to be considered and have been a dancer at the dance haven for more than two years. The scholarship will be awarded to the student who is nominated by the faculty at The Dance Haven, Inc.
