It’s hard to believe that November is already upon us! Thank you for your continuous support this season. The studio is truly nothing without the hard work and dedication of each and every student, family member and staff member.

As the winter season approaches and of course, cold and flu season with it – please be sure to notify the studio of any absences your dancer may have. Feel free to call the studio and leave a voice mail or send us a quick e-mail.

A HUGE THANK YOU to all of the dancers who contributed to our Halloween Bash in support of the Epilepsy Support Centre. I am always blown away by the amount our studio wants to give back to their community! With everyone’s support we were able to raise $550.00 for the Epilepsy Support Centre.

This month’s monthly intention is INSPIRATION. Throughout the month of November we are planning a few inspirational events for our students. On November 4 our dancers are invited to register and attend Dance Attack’s Workshop in London. Then on November 25 the studio will be having a field trip to Milton to see The Dance Class’s presentation of the Nutcracker Spectacular. We will also be hosting an Inter/Senior Bonding afternoon on November 11. Throughout the studio we will be sharing our own inspirations and providing an Inspiration Wall for our students to add to as well!

We are excited to announce the date of our 7th Annual Festivus Party on Friday November 23! We will be holding our Festivus Party at the Oxford Auditorium. Our Festivus Party is a fun night out for parents and students with a provided pizza dinner, games and activities planned for the kids, our Holiday Spirit Squad performs AND a visit from Santa! Save the date now so you can make it! The event is free but we please ask that you pick up tickets from the desk so we can have an estimate on numbers.

Get a jump on stocking stuffers with Kernels Popcorn. Buy a bag of popcorn and support FDC’s Competitive Dancers. Popcorn will be available Monday November 26th to Saturday December 1st. We will have lots of different flavours available. A table will be set up each night to purchase at the studio, each bag is $2.50.

With the holiday season coming, Footprints Dance Centre is excited to continue with our Fill the Sleigh Campaign in December. We will be hosting this campaign in support of Domestic Abuse Services Oxford. Dancers are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items and new toiletries to help us fill the sleigh. All of these items will be put directly back into the community that helps to support and shape us all. More information about this campaign will be released with your December newsletter.

Be sure to “like” our Facebook Page, Footprints Dance Centre, for updates and events.
