Danielle Banach Memorial Scholarship Fund
Danielle L. Banach was a student and assistant at Dance Emporium who was looked upon in awe by all of our young dancers. She was a beautiful person and dancer. Her love of dance radiated through her as she moved on the stage. Unfortunately, she was wrongfully taken from us at a young age of 17. To keep her name alive and her love of dance growing through other children, her parents asked for memorials to be sent to Dance Emporium. Since that time we have held yearly fundraisers to support the Danielle Banach Memorial Fund. Since her death 10 years ago, we have provided students with over $30,000.00 in scholarships. It is because of this fund in Danielle's memory that many students are able to study dance and excell in what Danielle loved.
Due to our continuous support of the Danielle Banach Memorial Scholarship Fund, we are able to award over $3000.00 in scholarships to students each year. This can cover attire, shoes, costumes and tuition. With your support, we can continue to award many students with the opportunity to dance. Most of the money awarded to students comes from this annual fund raiser. Please give the gift of dance to a young person by supporting the Danielle Banach Memorial Scholarship Fund. For more information on the Fund Raiser or how to apply for the scholarships, call Dance Emporium @ 585-226-8610.
Fall fundraising opportunities will begin soon.
The Everlasting Dance
Across the stage she flies, leaps, and turns around, soaring through the sky, she stops and hits the ground.
The silence, the screams filled with disbelief and fear. She stands up, angered and cries, "Can't you see I 'm here?"
As the curtain falls, and the lights go dim, the people leave saddened, hurt and grim but for her tomorrow, her next dance will begin as she dances with the Lord, and dances in the wind.
