Christmas at Steps of Faith
December 12– 17th
This year we are implementing something new for Christmas. Instead of having evening Christmas shows, we will simply have Parent Watch week. We hope this allows you to have a better glimpse into what your child is learning all year. There will be no refreshments, however, we will have a small gift for our dancers!
Nativity Ornaments and Anniversary Shirts FOR SALE
Make sure you get your commemorative 10th Anniversary Ornament. We will have a limited supply and will not be doing this every year. They are $12 each and are being presold NOW. If you want to guarantee you have one, order yours now. You will also receive a voucher for a free one with Premium seats for the show. So you can count on one that way as well. They will arrive the week of Dec. 11th!
Nativity T-shirts feature the names of the dancers/actors over the last ten years for the show! We will order only 200 of these, so first come first served! If you want to guarantee one for you or your dancer (or alumni dancer since all their names are on it), pre-pay for your shirt today! They will be available for pickup and sale mid November. There are almost 300 names on it!!!! They will be v-neck and $12 for adult sizes and $9 and round neck for child sizes. Both are black with white lettering. You wont want to miss these!!!
