2020 Traci Greene Collegiate Dance Scholarship Award Recipient

"Thank you so much for this scholarship and for being like a second family! Words cannot express my appreciation for everyone at Culture Arts Initiative and Houston's Urban Nutcracker"

​

" I had such a wonderful time at Master Ballet Academy's 2020 Summer Intensive. Thank you MBA for inviting me and Culture Arts Initiative for giving me the scholarship to go.  I couldn't have had a better summer than this one." 

“Culture Arts Initiative’s scholarship provided me the opportunity to flourish as a dancer at the Texas Ballet Theater Summer Intensive.  I learned what it is to have a career as a dancer from directors and instructors such as Ben Stevenson and Lauren Anderson, who have had a huge impact on the Houston Dance community.  I was able to achieve my ultimate goal to audition and be selected for the Professional Division Training Program...Thank you to the Culture Arts Initiative for opening doors for me to become closer to my dream of becoming a professional dancer!”
