Dancing For Joy Scholarship
Joy Wilborn was a committed and vibrant company dancer at Studio of MoveMINT. In December of 2019, Joy passed away in a tragic accident and leapt into the arms of Jesus. She left behind family, friends, a community, and a dance studio who loved her deeply.
She was such a lighthouse and gem of a human being, packed with so much heart and so much fire. After Joy's passing, the Fort Worth community came together to support the Wilborn-Mayo family, raising money to support Joy's passions, her impact, and her legacy.
The Dancing for Joy Scholarship is an entire year of dance given to a dancer who embodies everything that we loved about Joy. We will honor her doing something SHE loved to do- and we hope to help our students know that THAT is how we will feel close to her moving forward- through MoveMINT, self-expression, and spreading joy.
2020 Recipient
Juliet Hejl
As Joy's best friend - it is only fitting that Juliet be the first recipient of the Dancing for Joy Scholarship. Juliet shared her love for dance with Joy, and through her MoveMINT, she continues to honor her. Juliet is kind, hardworking, and Joyful always.
This will be Juliet's first season on MoveMINT Dance Company, and we cannot wait to see her shine so bright!
