Additional
Goals:
Additional goals are to
provide scholarships to deserving dancers to attend seminars in order to study
and represent our Performing Company by performing in seminar productions, then
to return to share those studies with other dancers.
In addition, the Foundation will occasionally purchase costumes, accessories and
props for members of The Performing Company to wear and use when representing
us.
The Foundation and its Sponsors will also have access to the extensive library
in the Isis Production Suites for the use of books, magazines and videos
dedicated to the study of this ancient art form.
The Foundation and the Wings of Isis will present lectures and sponsor haflas
and workshops which are open to everyone.
