TJC Academy of Dance Guild
The Academy of Dance Guild members serve as advocates for dance and ballet in our Tyler community. Our mission is to raise awareness and support for our Academy through various efforts, special events and fundraising drives. Guild members will enjoy special presentations from guest choreographers and musicians, while also receiving exclusive invitations to "behind the scenes" looks at upcoming performances. We plan to gather socially a few times a year and of course encourage others to join us in attending the TJC Academy of Dance performances!
