Established in 1984, DANCE POWER brings dance education into New Brunswick elementary schools and offers opportunities for select students to study at Princeton Ballet School on full scholarship. Waiting in the Wings is an annual performance marking the culmination of the 20-week DANCE POWER residency in the schools. At the end of the Waiting in the Wings performance, new DANCE POWER Scholars are announced. The students selected to be DANCE POWER Scholars - two boys and two girls from each school - are given the opportunity to study dance through 12th grade at Princeton Ballet School, which has a location in downtown New Brunswick.
