Scholarship
Students of the Vicky Simegiatos Dance Company
The Vicky Simegiatos Dance Company
is a non-profit organization whose sole purpose is to enrich the
cultural
education of the Brooklyn community. We have
established, through auditions, a scholarship
program for talented young students who receive dance training, free of
charge,
and participate in our professional productions.
Students placed in this program
receive the privilege of studying ballet and performance under Matina
Simegiatos. Matina is a gifted dancer and choreographer as well as a
patient,
poised and much loved teacher. Her well varied background features
years spent
as a student at The School of American Ballet and a dancer in
productions with
New York City Ballet. She has also appeared on Broadway in featured
roles.
Under her inspiration, students
learn the high standards, discipline and artistry necessary to progress
as
ballet dancers. Because of her belief in them, their technique and
interpretative skills develop quickly. Matina trains her students to
dance her
intricate and kaleidoscopic choreography, preparing them to perform
with the
Vicky Simegiatos Dance Company.
Our Scholarship Program
offers everything for the serious
dancer with the desire, dedication and determination required to
succeed in a
career.
