Recital costumes have been ordered! Please make sure you pay your costume balances as soon as possible- you can always check your account online through the Dance Arts website and log in with your email address. Our "Hollywood" theme recital will be June 1st at Borah High School. There will be two performances, 2:00 and 5:00, and the recital assignments will be posted next month. We will do our best to keep siblings together, but students in multiple classes will likely be in both shows.
   
Nutcracker costumes need to be turned in as soon as possible! The show was great and the staff is very proud of all dancers who participated! DVD's can still be ordered for $15.00 at the office if you would like a copy of this year's performance. 
 
Freeze Frame Performance
The annual Freeze Frame shows are this Saturday, January 26th! Show times are 12:30 and 7:00, held at Mountain View High School. Freeze Frame is a fundraiser put on by the Boise Dance Teachers Association (BDTA) to raise scholarship funds to send dancers to dance camp in the summer and to put on the fall workshop which is held at no cost for our dancers to attend!
 
DAA has invited the Mini, Junior, and Senior performing teams as well as the Advanced Lyrical and Advanced Hip Hop classes to perform in the matinee (12:30) show. Tap 3, Boys Hip Hop, and all Hippety Hop classes will be performing in the evening (7:00) show. Tickets are $6.00 and will be available at the door.
   
BDTA will also be collecting food for the Idaho Food Bank. A $1.00 discount will be given on Freeze Frame t-shirts for any food donation.
 
DAA Night at the Stampede March 13
Come see our performing teams dance at half time at the Idaho Stampede game on March 13! Tickets are $10.00 and can be ordered at the office or from any DAA performance team member. A portion of the tickets sold goes back to the dancers who are raising funds for a trip to Disneyland this July, where they will perform on stage and in two Disney parades!
 
New Adult Classes   
Beginning in February we will be offering four week sessions of adult classes on Wednesdays at 8:00. A different style of dance will be taught each month starting with ballet in February and jazz in March. Let Tina know in the office if you are interested in signing up!
