March News From
Studio 180 Dance
|
Whew! We actually made it through our February "snowpocalypse!" While the tons (literally) of snow we received made for some fun sledding, snowman and fort building, we have arranged a schedule for all of the cancelled classes to be made up!
Even with the crazy snow month, we were able to host our Dance-A-Thon for Haiti and what a success it was! Also new in February and March is the addition of our two new aerial dance instructors, Miss Carey and Miss Robin, and our new aerial substitute and friend, Mr. Eric!
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
Thanks to all of our students, parents and friends' support, our Dance-A-Thon for Haiti was a huge success! The studio was filled with smiling faces ready to "sweat for humanity!" And sweat we did! After a tiring 3 hours of dancing, we were able to raise $3,500.00 (without all pledges collected) to give directly to the American Red Cross for the Rebuild Haiti Fund! We will keep you updated on the final donation when all pledges are in!
Thank you to everyone who participated, pledged to participants and stopped by to offer support to participants! Our Dance-A-Thon was able to bring our community closer and allowed us to give back to the larger community of our world. To better exemplify the fun we had, below are some of our favorite pictures from the Dance-A-Thon for Haiti! To view more pictures, check out our facebook gallery: www.facebook.com/Studio180Dance
If you'd like to arrange a dance-a-thon as your next fundraising event, we'd love to host more! Call the studio and visit our Fundraiser webpage for more details!

Make-Up Class Schedules
As we all know, the snow in February caused us all to stay in for what seemed like eternity! So, we have come up with a great way to make up those classes! Since children will still be in school after our May recital, we are going to add a week of classes then. Also, this month, Ms. Brooke will be getting an extra aerial certification and Ms. Meggie will be visiting Hawaii to welcome a friend home from Afghanistan and to work with her former aerial group, Samadhi Hawaii. While they are gone, we welcome our new aerial substitute, Mr. Eric, who is an experienced aerial artist and who you will love! To cover these classes, we have come up with a make-up schedule as well! You can also view these schedules online under class schedules. And feel free to call the studio if you have any other questions!
