SCHOLARSHIP SUNDAY!!!

This week's featured dancer: Millicent Collins

Millie joined the CBLS in 2025 after graduating from Northern Illinois University with a BFA in Dance and minor in Nonprofit Studies. In looking ahead at how to commence her dance career, she found CMC to be a good place to make the transition into the professional world of dance.

"I realized post grad, it was very difficult to find my place within the dance community, and also have access to affordable consistent training that would allow me to be able to prepare for auditions, make connections, and explore opportunities within the Chicago dance scene. After hearing about CMC, I knew it would be a good fit to be able to keep training consistently, meet choreographers, and connect with other dancers in my similar position."

Across her time in the program, she's been able to explore different avenues and grow her community!

"The people I have met through CMC have been so wonderful and supportive. I have enjoyed the flexibility of the program, which also allows me to have time for other jobs/interests outside of dance! It has been an interesting insight into what the Chicago dance world has to offer, and has helped me shape my path into what my role is within that community. "
