A letter from MDO Board member Alice Bloch
The Missouri Dance Organization is evolving and embracing the part of MDO’s mission to provide dance education to Missouri Dancers. Under the aegis of the Missouri Alliance for Arts Education for continuing dance education to the Missouri dance community at large through the Fauman Dance Education Scholarship.
Scholarship applications are open to all styles of dance, dancers and dance educators in all genres. Special thanks to the family of MDO’s first secretary, Lilo Fauman, for providing funds to begin this scholarship program.
It has been an honor to serve on the board of Missouri Dance Organization and I look forward to continuing to serve Missouri’s dance community through the Missouri Alliance for Arts Education’s efforts to facilitate the maintenance of this scholarship program.
