Get Involved!
Our lobbies both have “pajama trees” next to the donation boxes. Pick a few snowflakes off the tree to purchase pajamas and books for kids in need this holiday season. Snowflakes list specific ages, gender of children, and pajama sizes that we are gathering. It is not required to pick a snowflake; we are still accepting any and all donations!
We are also collecting monetary donations. This will go towards more jammies and books! Bring in cash or Venmo donations to @danceforlife and include the dancers name so the amount can go toward their service society recognition!
Get your friends and family involved in this amazing opportunity to make a difference! We have involvement letters you can share that are available HERE.
Winter Service Project: Service Society Recognition
The “Dance for Life” project is an opportunity for our dancers to qualify to become a member of the “Expressions Dance Service Society.” To meet the qualifications for Service Society, each dancer needs to donate 10 pairs of pajamas, or 20 books, or $50 in cash donations. We will also accept a combination of the three donations (ex. 5 pjs and 10 books). We want to encourage students to put their hearts into this by asking friends and family to get involved and donate towards our project. Students that meet the donation requirements will be recognized for their service with a certificate and collectable award. These credentials will acknowledge their involvement in a good cause and will look amazing on future college scholarship applications and resumes! We are so excited to have a program within our studio to help teach our students the importance of service and community involvement! How to get credit for your donations: When you bring your donations to the studio, please make sure to fill in your totals by your name on the clipboard that is next to the donation box.

In December our theme is "From My Heart to Yours." Each class will be focused around Christmas!
