News from August...

Welcome to our Twelfth Year at SOF!
We are excited to bring you another great year of dancing and fun at Steps of Faith Dance Studio! Yes, it is time for dance to start back and we are excited! There are a lot things going on around here and we are glad you are a part. We are looking forward to giving you and your family the best instruction and loving service possible! If you ever need anything, please let us be of service to you!
Our office manager, Tonya Veitch, will be working every afternoons to answer your “office” needs. Tanya Rucker is now our Project Coordinator and will be in charge of fundraising events as well as other projects needed in the office. Theresa Shampine returns as her position as instructor and Ballet Mistress and my Assistant Director. Miss Ashleyanne and Miss Christina are both returning this year!! I (the newsletter author) am Julie Reeves, honored to be the Artistic Director and instructor, under my boss, Lord Jesus Christ. We are sad to announce that Miss Natalie will be leaving us at the end of the month to return to Texas. She has been instrumental in our program the last three years, and we will miss her terribly.

New instructors this year include Ashley Wilson, and Anna Gilbert. Ashley is new to us this year and takes over Miss Natalie’s Wednesday schedule. She has been dancing at another Christian dance studio and has been teaching around the NW Ga area. Miss Anna is our own gifted Senior Co. dancer and has been trained to teach by our staff.
If there is anything we can do for you to make your experience here at SOF better, please don’t hesitate to let us know! You may always drop a note in the payments box next to the office window!
*****Oh, t-shirts will be ready NEXT month! Every registered dancer receives one! (Extras will be available for sale in October!)
Be sure to check out our WEBSITE: www.steps-of-faith.com! Registration and payments can be done ONLINE! Forward our web address to anyone you think would be interested in a great dance studio! God’s blessings and grace be with you during this new year!!

HERE WE GO.....

NEW TEACHERS...
We are excited to welcome TWO more new staff members!
Dominique Dickerson is our new Tuesday HipHop teacher. Her sweet spirit and unique choreography are reason enough to take her class! She drives all the way from Lithonia to be part of our team! Rachel Truitt is teaching on Thursdays in HipHop and Jazz, including the upper company levels. We are going to add to her schedule soon to optimize her versatility in ballet and kids classes too! Praise God for bringing SOF the PERFECT teachers! Blessings to Natalie as she determines her next step as she leaves us!

NEW YEAR...
It has been an exciting year already. We have so many new faces from all over the area, some coming from as far away as Marietta, Calhoun, and Canton to get only what you can get at SOF!! Registration is still underway and, we can take new students through Sept. 30.
Plans are underway for our Nativity Ballet in Dec., and the Spring Concert in May, as well as our instudio performances for Christmas. More details will be coming next month.
Please feel free to contact me (the director, Julie) anytime with any questions or concerns…770-606-0506

Ready, Set, GO!

Tomorrow we start our Fall session at Steps of Faith!! How exciting!

We have a bunch of new students and several new teachers! If you havent signed up, now is the time!!! Many classes are getting full already, as we have a tight schedule with only two dance rooms. Like I said, I'll add Saturday classes again if enough people will commit to that day!

See you this week!!!

Ms. Julie
