Debra Sparks Dance Works—One of Bucks County’s Finest Ballet Schools—Proudly Celebrates Its 30th Anniversary
Newtown, PA (PRWEB) October 15, 2013 -- It all started in 1983 when Ms. Deb (as her students call her) opened the original Debra Sparks Dance Works located in Philadelphia, PA. Voilà! A new breed of talent was born as Debra Sparks infused her love for dance and creative choreography into these dancers.
Over the years, Ms. Deb rewarded dancers’ special merits with dance scholarships and opportunities to perform with professional dancers in some of the best classical ballets.
• In 1990, The Leonard Sparks Memorial Scholarship in Dance was formed.
• In 1991, The Philadelphia Children’s Ballet Academy (PCBA) was established.
Ms. Deb ran the PCBA, a non-profit organization that survived exclusively on fundraising efforts. This pre-professional venue’s mission was to reward talented young dancers, both male and female up to the age of 20, by allowing them to train and perform—free of charge—with professional leading dancers in a variety of shows throughout the year.
As time progressed, Debra Sparks felt that her dancers would be better served if she opened up a studio in Bucks County and, in 1998, The Debra Sparks Dance Works was created in Newtown, PA.
To bring the flavor of PCBA to Bucks County, in 2005, Ms. Deb established The Bucks County Dance Company, a pre-professional dance company offering scholarships to select, talented dancers in Bucks County, PA.
As with Deb’s other dance school, the Newtown studio also offered scholarships to reward talent and encourage growth. In 2011, Debra Sparks established the Phyllis Sparks Memorial Scholarship (in conjunction with the Leonard Sparks Scholarship) in Dance.
For 30 solid years Ms. Debra Sparks has been enlightening dancers with her captivating choreography and nurturing guidance. Celebrations are ongoing at the studio for the rest of the year. Please contact us to visit the studio or audit a class.
