THE NATIVITY: Dec. 17 and 18 at the GrandThe Nativity is only a few weeks away! And tickets are already selling at the Grand Theatre. My prayer is that you will bring your SOF student to see this production! Children learn so much by watching large scale productions like this! And we promise a wonderful and blessed time for your family!
As in the past few years, we are having a wonderful pas de duex (dance for two) with Mary and Joseph! It is beautiful and breathtaking! We also have a dance featuring our SELAH DTS dancers! Many dances have been updated this year. And of course, SNOW! We love having the snow each year!
For our full length show at the Grand Theatre, tickets are $13 in advance or $15 at the door. Group rates are $11 and are available for 10 or more people.
Even if you cannot come to the performance, we ask that you cover this outreach in prayer. See, we consider this our biggest community outreach during the year, where we can spread the Gospel of Christ in a wonderful way. Please join us in praying for God’s blessing and for lives to be changed due to the Nativity!
Christmas Performances...It’s hard to believe that our Christmas performances are so close! We are excited about doing them at the studio, and getting to combine it with a small reception each evening!!! Hopefully this will make it more memorable and special. Please make sure you have signed up to bring a little something to help us out. Of course, these performances are FREE.
For the class performance, please make sure your child has her/his class leotard or specified outfit to wear (your teacher can tell you), so that the class is uniform for pictures everyone will be taking. There will be no professional videography or pictures taken, so please make sure to bring your own cameras and snap away!!! Make sure your daughter has her hair secured in a bun for the performance for ballet classes, and secured away from the face for all other classes. Make sure they have the appropriate shoes too.
Each performing class has been assigned a performance date and time, which will feature only a few classes. Any class performing in Nativity will not be participating in these performances due to tech rehearsals at the Grand that week.

Please note that space will be of a premium at these shows due to fire code, so you may want to wait and invite all the aunts, uncles and cousins to the Spring Show where we will have more room, and the format will be more formal.
We are looking forward to this new format for Christmas, and hope you enjoy it as well. Please make sure all accounts have been cleared by the last class of the semester.
Merry Christmas from your staff at Steps of Faith Dance Studio!!
am so thrilled to see that our studio is doing more than dance! Our Companies filled shoe boxes for Operation Christmas child last week, and now our studio is an official drop off for Toys for Tots! Please join us in this endeavor to give kids in Bartow county a better Christmas by bringing unwrapped toys for ages 0-18 and drop them off in the studio’s boxes.
