Welcome

The mission of the Carole Cascio Fund is to introduce students of all ages and levels to connecting mind, movement and dance, and to support developing artistry in young people through choreography and dance.

Movement, in its various forms was always central to Carole’s artistic and educational endeavors. In her words,

“As we experience our world through moving in it and dancing about it, we remind ourselves of the truth and knowledge that is stored, away from awareness. When a dance is performed and watched, both dancer and audience share another person’s awareness conveyed by a language that is universal and for which no words suffice.”

“Dance remains a rich and continuous medium for art making, as well as for intellectual personal revelation”

-Carole Cascio
