This scholarship is made possible by the generosity of Jonathan Flint in memory of his late wife, Amy Flint. Amy served on the Steamboat Dance Theatre Board of Directors, including serving as President in 2004. She was the Annual Concert Stage Manager for several years and went on to become our Technical Director. She was also one of the founding members of Steamboat Dance Theatre’s Dance Scholarship Program. People who admired and loved Amy knew that her love of dance and the ability to take classes brought her incredible joy. We are honored to be able to continue sharing her love of dance with our community.
