A Huge Thank You to Our MTT Scholarship Sponsors! 🌟
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Travis Anderson Real Estate Partners, Sage Prairie and Tricore Construction for their generous support of the MTT Scholarship. Your contributions make a significant difference in the lives of our dancers!
A special thank you also goes out to everyone who has purchased used dance shoes and snacks; your support plays a crucial role in funding this scholarship.
The MTT Scholarship was established in loving memory of Maryah, a vibrant dancer whose strength, compassion, and love for dance inspired all who knew her. As a former dancer at DD’s Dance Studio (now DanceXcel), Maryah faced her battle with Ewings Sarcoma Bone Cancer from age 9 to 16 with unwavering positivity and a selfless spirit. This scholarship aims to support students who embody Maryah’s dedication and passion for dance.

3. Show a true commitment to continuing dance at DanceXcel in the foreseeable future.
