Darcie Swisher Scholarship
The Darcie Swisher Scholarship was created in loving memory of Miss Darcie, a cherished teacher, mentor, and member of the Premiere Dance Center family. Miss Darcie’s passion for dance, dedication to her students, and joyful spirit left an unforgettable impact on our studio and everyone who had the privilege of learning from her.
This scholarship is awarded annually to one or more students who exemplify the qualities Miss Darcie valued most—determination, commitment, and a genuine love for dance. It is intended to honor her legacy by supporting dancers who strive not only for excellence, but for growth, perseverance, and positivity.
Through this scholarship, Miss Darcie’s influence continues to inspire and encourage future generations of dancers at
Premiere Dance Center.
