It is an honor for the Academy of Special Dreams Foundation to be able to provide a College Grant for Artists in the special needs community! Congratulations Riley for your second grant award. The Academy of Special Dreams mission brings public awareness, recognition and appreciation to the creative talents of people with disabilities. Ms. Riley Weinstein is a dance instructor at the Santa Clarita School of Performing Arts who specializes in teaching special needs children to dance and move to music. Ms. Riley’s dance classes are designed to not only teach dance as an art form but also as a therapy and physical fitness tool and confidence builder for special needs children. In an effort to assist the special needs community to achieve their artistic dreams, the Academy of Special Dreams will continue offering cash scholarships to those participants who submit their artistic expressions in the competitions sponsored by the Special Academy.
