A typical Jude Biggs recipient has considerable mastery of an instrument and has shown at least an interest in playing for dances, but is not yet at the skill level of professional staff. As a Jude Biggs recipient, you\u2019ll have opportunities to work with our superb musical staff and play for dancers in several different types of community dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This scholarship covers the full registration fee. It sometimes may be split between two campers, in which case it would cover half the fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">To Apply<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact Family Week management (<a href=\"mailto:familyweek@bacds.org\">familyweek@bacds.org<\/a>) to apply or for more information.
