Happy Feet for the Holidays Project
We are all so blessed and it is the time of year to share with others! Dance Arts Academy is partnering with the ministries of the Boise Rescue Mission to collect new, unworn socks to be distributed to the homeless this holiday season. I have set a goal of 250 pairs- if each dancer brings one pair of socks
we will more than exceed our goal! We will collect socks through December 21st. You can bring them to the studio starting today! Please bring socks that are warm and are meant to be worn year round (no Christmas socks, please).

Brief Studio Pointes

• It's not too late to sign up to be a part of the Meridian Winter
  Lights Parade! We will have a float for dancers to ride on for the
  Friday, December 6th parade. The participation fee is $10.00 to cover the costs
  of lit accessories for each dancer (that they can keep). Sign up at the office
  this week!
• DAA is looking for parent photographers to document all of
  the fun things we do all year! I will again put together a recital program
  yearbook and it isn't possible for me to take pictures while teaching and
  directing performances and events all the time! Please share your photo gems and
  they may be a part of our studio book! If any of your pictures are chosen, you
  will receive your book for free!
• The performance teams at DAA are available for performances
  year round! If your company or organization is looking for entertainment, we
  would love to come perform for you! There is no fee to book us, but any
  donations are appreciated and go towards fundraising goals for team
  expenses.
• Is your dancer having a birthday soon? DAA can do birthday
  parties that are fun for your guests and easy on your pocketbook! For
  only $125, we will lead dances and games for an hour and host another half hour
  for treats and opening gifts. Call the office to book your party for any time of
  the year!
• The info@ email address for DAA has not been working. I
  apologize for the inconvenience and for any emails I have not answered (because
  I didn't get them). For now, I am using my personal email dottyhancock@gmail.com
  and I hope to get the other address up and running soon! Thank you for your
  understanding.
