Vickie Sheer Dance Grant
The Vickie Sheer Dance Grant is intended to help dance families experiencing economic hardship from the COVID-19 pandemic in an effort to encourage the dedicated student(s) to continue their dance experience. Sheer Elite International may grant those families their competition and/or convention fees either at a reduced rate or in full. The program will have a limitation of benefits per event and be granted on a first come first serve basis to studios that sign into early registration.
How to receive the Grant
The dance school will sign into their Sheer Elite registration account and register with an estimated number of routines your studio will be bringing to the event. (This has no bearing on the funding decision. It just lets us know that you will be competing in a 2022 location and to hold your spot.) Fill out a short form below requesting help for students in your dance school. We do not want the names of the students or their family information. We feel that the dance school knows their community enough to determine who can use some help. You will be sent an email with the amount of the grant awarded or that the event has reached its limit for funding. All correspondences will be sent to: gary.sheerelite@gmail.com.
If you receive a grant, the award will be posted to the studio account in the discount column as a grant. Please inform your student recipient that they received the grant. As I mentioned earlier, we do not want the name of the student or their families. The grant will be issued as “credits” and not as “cash” and not issued to studios that will not be competing in the 2021 season. The grant is non-refundable and has no “cash” value. Vickie Sheer believed that every dancer should be able to perform on the Sheer stage for their love of the art.
Sincerely,
Gary Antle
