Hello Dancers and Parents:

We hope you are having a wonderful summer.  Here are the latest things happening at the Dance Center:

E-mail List

In the past we have had an e-mail sign up list available during rehearsals.  We have a hard time reading the sign ups so this year we are asking that if you do not currently get e-mails from us, please send an email to tammy@domsys.com asking to be placed on the Dance Center email list.

Fall Announcement

The Dance Center is pleased to announce that Anya Noveskey will be rejoining our teaching team.  Anya is taking over Katie Fairbanks’ Wednesday Schedule at the Adrian Studio.  Anya and Carrie have teamed together to team teach a few of those classes.  As many of you know, Anya has danced professionally with Grand Rapids Ballet Company and is taking her Dance Master Teaching Exams this summer.  We are very excited to have Anya back on our team!!!!!    

Fall Golf Outing

We are contemplating having a golf outing as a fundraiser for the WHOLE STUDIO this year.  The funds can be used toward dance education.  We need at least 10 kids interested in doing this in order to make it happen.  Last year’s golf outing was pretty successful and I am told that each year you do it, it gets more and more successful.   We will need parents to be involved in this fundraiser as well.  Basically the kids go in groups with a parent to area businesses and ask for prize donations and sell signs for each golf hole.  Kids also help out at the actual outing.  Parent jobs include, accompanying the kids to the businesses, getting your friends to golf, helping with thank you cards and helping at the actual outing.  The funds are divided per kid by the hours each kid puts into the event.  This year we also plan to credit each kid with their parent’s work hours.  If you are interested in participating in this fundraiser, please email or call Tammy no later than July 31st.  tammy@domsys.com  or 517-605-7336. 

New Updated Fall Schedules

With Anya joining our team this fall to teach we have now updated the fall schedules and they are attached for your review.

Fall Artilicious Show

September 19th and 20th on the street in front of the Croswell in downtown Adrian.  We are scheduled to dance on Saturday from 3:00 to 3:45 p.m.  Please mark your schedules so you can be part of this fun show! 

Fall Irish Hills Festival

We have not been asked to dance at this yet, but just in case we are, please mark September 20th in your schedule for this event.   It shouldn’t conflict with the Artilicious show since we usually dance early in the morning for the Irish Hills Festival.
