Scholarship Program

The Ed Mucha TTC Scholarship Fund

TTC is excited to announce a scholarship program that will be available to five special students. Each award will be $200 put towards the attendance at TTC 2016 — a great help to defray the costs of a very special weekend.

There are a few basic requirements:

  • You must be competent dancing both lead and follow roles.
  • You must submit two professional references (someone who is familiar with your dance experience).
  • Along with the application form (see below), you must submit a CV (curriculum vitae), resume, or personal statement.

Applications must be submitted no later than midnight, June 5, 2016. Scholarships will be awarded June 15.

Who is Ed Mucha, anyway?

This fund, established exclusively for TTC, is named in memory of Ed Mucha (“mooka”) — the “gentleman of Minneapolis tango.” He had a kindly manner guiding others through the flow of the dance. He was an early adherent, with his wife Trish, of tango and salsa in the Twin Cities. His love was as big as the sky through which he piloted his airplane. He was taken from us in 2014. A friend said: “Ed is like the sky. He will always be with us!”
