Bring a Friend Month!!!

We are holding a “Bring a Friend” month, the entire month of September 2017!  Please find attached an invitation that our dancers can give to a friend.  If you would like to bring more than one friend, please feel free to make as many copies as you need, see the receptionist as more invitations are available in the office, or print one from our website.  Help us to share the gift of music and dance with more children!

     We are also having fun with a Giant Stuffed Animal give away to the dancer that brings in the most friends!  The Giant Stuffed Animal that is displayed at the studio will be given to the winning dancer the week of Monday, October 2nd which is the week after “Bring a Friend Month.”  If there is a tie, those dancer’s names will be in a drawing to determine the winner of the Giant Stuffed Animal.

     The friends must fill out the back of the invitation and give it to the teacher in order for the current dancer to receive credit for bringing them in.  Friends can attend classes in whatever dance attire they may have.  If they don’t have any, they are welcome to try classes in whatever they can move in.
