February News From
Studio 180 Dance
|
This winter we are having fun at the studio! The recital is coming up and we are learning our dances, picking out costumes and growing as dancers. Although time seems to be flying, we want to let you in on some awesome events coming up in February.
Studio 180 Dance is hosting a Dance-A-Thon for Haiti, a Valentine's Parents Night Out and a Day-Off Dance Camp! And on top of this, we are excited to introduce our newest instructor, Miss Meggie! Remember, too, that we are still welcoming new students. Classes in the studio are filling and time is closing in on the recital, so register today. See you in the studio!

Dance-A-Thon for Haiti
Studio 180 and The Galley Creative Group are sponsoring a Dance-A-Thon to raise funds for the Haiti Relief Fund. As we all know, Haiti experienced a devastating earthquake Tuesday, January 12, 2010, injuring and killing thousands. While not everyone is able to offer physical help, we can still donate as the resurrection of an already impoverished country will be extremely costly. To support relief efforts, Studio 180 Dance instructors and students will collect pledges to participate in a three hour Dance-A-Thon. The event will take place at Studio 180 and The Galley Creative Group will provide all fliers, pledge sheets and PR, as well as participating themselves!
The Galley Creative Group, Studio 180's Graphic Design and Marketing Firm, designs our website and all the Studio 180 Dance materials like our fabulous brochures, bumper stickers and Winter Show T-Shirt; and collaborates with Miss Katie to develop great ideas like this one.
We hope that you are able to participate in any way possible: dancing with us, pledging to one of us, stopping by to offer your encouragement, bringing water, anything! Although the devastation in Haiti is unimaginable to many of us who live in such a safe community, there are ways to ease the sorrow. We want to help and know that each of our studio members and friends is amazing inside and out. Please tell friends, family, schoolmates, teachers and neighbors to join in on our Dance-A-Thon for Haiti. Fundraising is such an amazing way to bring a community together and touch people's lives and hearts. Let's dance our way to aiding in this "humanitarian emergency," as the earthquake and its effects have been deemed. 100% of all funds will go directly to the Red Cross.
See you soon and get ready to dance for humanity!
