Second Annual Steps of Faith Fall Festival
Plan to join us on Saturday, September 22nd from 10am-3pm. We are planning a day of Family Fun at SOF!! There will be free performances by our very own dancers as well as several community performers, a variety of vendors, a rock wall &/or inflatables, food, silent auction, and carnival games. Mark your calendar & invite your friends!! Admission is free, however, there will be a charge for some activities and food. Our goal in this endeavor is 3 fold:
1. For our SOF family to come together and have FUN!
2. Raise awareness in Cartersville to SOF’s presence.
3. Raise funds for Steps of Faith Dance Company.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! There are a couple of different ways you can get involved. Keep reading and let us know if you can help!! We are taking donations of food items such as: hot dogs, hot dog buns, ketchup, mustard, and a variety of baked goods. Also, we need donations for our silent auction. Some examples would be: Maybe you own a cabin in the mountains and could donate a weekend to be auctioned off. Maybe you sell Avon, Tupperware, Pampered Chef and could donate some of your product. You are a musician and could offer donate some classes. You are a baker and could donate a cake for a special occasion. You get the idea. These are only suggestions. (The possibilities are limitless!!)
In addition to donations, we need volunteers to help us that day. Jobs we will need help with: set up, break down, bake sale, selling hot dogs, and etc. There will be a sign up sheet posted on bulletin board in lobby. See you there!
Auditions for Nativity for Ballet Prep
and Ballet 1 students
Saturday, September 29th, 2:45-4:00pm
If your child is currently enrolled in our Ballet Prep or Ballet 1 classes and is interested in performing in this year’s production of The Nativity, please join us for the auditions. Students will be led by a teacher and will execute a simple ballet class and small excerpts of choreography. Students will be judged on their attentiveness, ability to follow directions, ability to execute the movement shown, and overall appearance and demeanor. These auditions will be fun for our youngest (and cutest!) Nativity dancers, so there is no need to worry! Students must wear their current level’s uniform including the designated color leotard, pink tights, and pink leather or canvas soft ballet shoes. Hair must be of professional standard (Please refer to the bulletin board if you need to “brush up” on your bun making skills!) No warm-ups or ballet skirts are allowed into the audition studio. No jewelry, no nail polish, and no pony tails are allowed. Shows are Dec. 15/16 and rehearsals will be on Saturdays starting mid to late October. We hope to have several casts of “angels” so each dancer would do only one or two shows. See Ms. Julie with questions. Thank you. We look forward to seeing you at auditions!
