Partners in Dance Sponsorship Opportunities

The Western Michigan University Partners In Dance organization is a community of dance lovers, dedicated to supporting WMU Dance students by encouraging growth and excellence in their academic experience. PID raises funds to provide scholarships and professional development opportunities for students as well as funds for the Great Works Dance Project, bringing in work by world renowned choreographers for students to learn and perform. These opportunities and experiences greatly impact dance students, expanding their skills and understanding of dance as an art form and helps connect them to careers they pursue after college.

Please join our effort to continue providing these vital opportunities for our WMU Dance artists.
