4. Make a special gift. Since its founding, International Ballet Exchange has made scholarships available to serious students who want to study ballet at Wissahickon Dance Academy but need financial assistance to do so. The scholarships, which are awarded on an as-needed basis from IBE’s operating funds or donations specifically designated for this purpose, are named in memory of former WDA student Jackiel Emerson Irwin-Diehl, who danced in numerous IBE performances. Ballet was his heart, and we can think of no better tribute to his love of dance and joy in movement.
