Look to the Horizon Annual Dance Education Scholarship Program (LTH) was founded in 2011 by Roger Montoya (Moving Arts Española) & Adam McKinney (DNAWORKS) to support young dancers aged 13-21 from New Mexico to further their national and international dance training.

Ruben Rascon (Velarde, NM), LTH’s first scholarship winner, was awarded $10,000 to study at the reknown Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow, Russia for one year. We are happy to announce that, because of the generous support of individuals from around the state, who donated $1 - $2,500 last year, Ruben received his first professional dance contract with New Jersey Ballet Company!
