TESTIMONIALS
Some words from our past Scholarship recipients.

A3 District has impacted my life enormously. Before I began my journey with A3, I was at a very different place in my life, both as a person and a dancer. The faculty at A3 really invests in their dancers, and fosters a welcoming sense of community, regardless of the level of experience you have. I was a very different dancer in 2016 when I started with A3. However, years of mentorship with this distinguished faculty has given me countless opportunities to push myself beyond my limits. I've met some of my dearest friends through A3, and I wouldn't trade any of those experiences for anything. A3 encourages and inspires dancers to pursue their passions anytime, anywhere, anyplace. You can instantly feel that energy anytime you walk into a drop-in, or a rehearsal. I was also blessed enough to be provided with a scholarship for two consecutive years at A3, which took a huge burden off my shoulders, as I was funding my own dance training primarily on my own. I am beyond thankful to have received that opportunity, and it goes to show that you will only get as much as you put into this program. If you are passionate about dance, and want a unique experience with an exceptional faculty that treats you like family, A3 is definitely the place for you.

I am very grateful for A3 for not just being a studio space, but for being a home and treating all the students that enter like a family. Here I've been met with unending support and encouragement, I've been taught the value of respect, and what it means to have real passion and work ethic. The positive energy- whether at team practice or drop-ins- is contagious, and pushes me to be a better dancer, and to not only show up for others, but myself as well. The scholarship helped me to pursue the team I worked hard for, while also being able to go to school as well. Being a part of a team at A3 isn't solely about dance, but it's also about learning the history of why we're all able to do what we love in that environment. I will always be thankful for A3 and the numerous opportunities they provide for their students.

I am very thankful for the opportunity that A3 gave me during the first year they had teams. A3 District isn't just a dance studio, it's a space that represents community. The faculty go the extra mile to teach the history of Hip-Hop to make sure that students are learning it properly with the right intention. Personally, the atmosphere that A3 has provided for me is a place I can easily call a second home.

Words can't describe how thankful I am to be apart of such an amazing studio. When I started A3 I was filled with nervousness and lacked confidence when I danced, but A3 gave me an opportunity and trained me to be the dancer I am today. Without A3, I wouldn't have any fundamentals as I never took the time to actually learn them before. Furthermore, the vibe in this studio is just full of enthusiasm and joy. Overall it's an amazing learning environment where everyone can bond and have fun. Thank you A3 for going above and beyond for your students.

A3 District really changed the way I saw and felt about dance. In the past, I wasn’t always as open to explore more than just what I knew, nor was I in the best place financially to do so. Through the effort and kindness of A3 District, I received an amazing opportunity that allowed me to dance comfortably, as well as I learned a ton of knowledge that has benefitted me a lot in my growth, not only as a dancer, but also as a person. I am so thankful for everything A3 District has done for me. All in all, A3 District and their faculty are so genuine and considerate, they truly think of everyone as family. Thank you A3 District for putting forth in your dancers.
