Named after our Liberate Artists Founder/Creative Director's mentor, Patricia A. Woodward, this award is a need and kindness-based scholarship where we pay for a dancer's entire tuition for one year at their home studio. This is for the dancer that embodies everything we believe in at Liberate Artists, Inc. and is the most prestigious award at Liberate Artists, Inc. In addition to their tuition paid for at their home studio, the winner also receives:
The KCC Award is awarded to dancers who are kind, compassionate, and caring during Phoenix Fire and Focus. We value these traits above everything else. Dancers who receive this award are also awarded a scholarship to attend conventions or events from our partner organizations including: Velocity Dance Convention, Activate Your Artistry Dance Convention, Embody Dance Convention, and others!
At Liberate Artists we award $500 scholarships to Phoenix Fire in New York City and $750 scholarships to Focus in Los Angeles. We also award full-tuition scholarships to dancers who express an economic need. Interested in being awarded a scholarship to attend one of our magical and momentous experiences?

Since we are not a dance competition or convention at Liberate Artists, we collaborate with safe, equitable, and inclusive dance competitions and conventions to provide you opportunities to train and perform with organizations whose values we share. At our Liberate Artists experience, we’ll also be awarding scholarships for the following organizations:
Always, Enough Foundation breaks the financial barriers to access that keep kids out of the performing arts. Through their Breaking Barriers program, families can apply for additional financial support for things like travel, meals, and housing which can be used at Liberate Artists experiences.
Our team will be awarding training scholarships to teachers and studio owners to support dance organizations in building more safer, equitable, and inclusive educational dance spaces.
