In 2005, the program received a gift from BMC
alum, Edith Aviles de koste, that enabled us to
support, in part or fully, attendance by 2-3
students at summer dance intensive programs.
Ms. Aviles has renewed her gift, enabling us
to continue this summer program. Students
have studied at ADF, ABT, Jacob's Pillow,
Pro Danza, Bill T. Jones Summer intensive,
Urban Bush Women Summer Institute, Axis
Dance Company's integrated abilities program.
Additional summer BMC grant programs have
enabled our students to do summer internships
and other creative projects as well.
