YDF Scholarship Audition Class 

Through YDF’s scholarship audition class, students have the opportunity to audition for scholarships to multiple summer programs at the same time without any additional charge. Scholarships are provided by YDF companies as well as outside dance organizations, and enable dancers to expand their training and professional opportunities beyond their home studio.
