Winter Benefit Postponed

Hello Dance Parents,
Let me begin by saying thank you to any of you who have already shown interest in the Winter Benefit. Unfortunately, there are so few children signed up to participate that we are going to have to postpone it. I also just received a call from the guy who was volunteering to do the music that he too has a family issue that will prevent him from being available on that date. I understand this due to the Holiday season, conflicting schedules with other activities and some parents just forgot that it was happening and scheduled other activities for that day. The new date will be SUNDAY, JANUARY 29, 2012 at the Boys and Girls Club in Leominster. The new date gives more parents time to save the date, gives the instructors more students to work with per routine, and is after the holidays but right before we begin learning our routines for the end of the year recital. It just feels like an all around better plan.

As usual with the benefit there will be no costumes, we will discuss color themes in class and the students will be able to pull from their already existing wardrobe. Tickets are only $5 per person and the performing students do not have to pay. If your child, whether they are a student here or not, would like to participate with either a song or play an instrument I would like to have their information as well so that I can include them in the program. I hope that this all makes sense. If your child is interested please have them return the participation form or send me an email at this address so that I can add them to the list!

There will be also be $1 face-painting, $1 activity stations for the kids, snacks, hot cocoa and other drinks on sale and a few local start up vendors who will be contributing a portion of the proceeds of their sales at the event to the benefit. If you are a vendor of jewelry, crafts, etc, please let me know if you are also interested in having a table set up. There are no set-up costs as long as you contribute a portion of the proceeds to the benefit. After hitting send I will also be creating an event on facebook for this day. This is an amazing opportunity for our little ones to learn the valuable lesson of giving back and to practice being on a stage before the big show. I would love it if everyone could participate but understand that that is not realistic. If you can, please please do so! Thank you in advance.
