Wendy has been a part of the dream from the very beginning (literally, Madeline’s first dance class) and embodies the heart of Rio in every way. If you have been to class at Rio, you have likely been the recipient of one of her radiant smiles and warmest welcomes. 

The WJC scholarship fund is designed to extend that welcome even further - making dance accessible to those who are not able to participate in Rio semesters due to financial constraints. Scholarships will not be awarded based on skill or experience, but instead on your heart for dance and this community. At Rio, we believe we need more places to dance, imagine, and play - and we believe that these places should be accessible to our entire community.
