Maria Vitery Scholarship
In memory of Maria Vitery, an amazing ballet and contemporary teacher at DE, we award a yearly scholarship to a Cecchetti Ballet Conference.
These dancers embody the work ethic, kind nature and passion for ballet that Miss Maria displayed. They do all of this without seeking recognition.
