Come join us as we join the battle to find a cure for cancer at Bartow County's annual Relay for Life at Dellinger Park. Our Sr. Company and Sr. Appr. Company will both be performing tonight between 9 and 930pm on the main field. It is going to be crowded, so make sure you get there early and take the shuttles! Dancers who are dancing tonight need to be there at 8pm.
See you all tonight!!

September Update
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!
I also want to add that I, as the director (and I have heard SO MANY good comments from you), have been so pleased with EVERY staff member we have! We have master teachers in all subjects! Cartersville/NW Ga. is blessed to have these women: Theresa Shampine, Ashleyanne Spinks, Christina Alexandersen, Anna Gilbert, Ashley Wilson, as well as Dominique and Rachel! Remember to thank your teacher today!!!
NEW YEAR...

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!!

As you get ready for classes this fall, I thougt I would go over dance wear needs. We have a class designated leotard system at place at SOF. Make sure you have your class designated leotard. Any style is fine. Older girls need to be aware of modesty. Nude undertards are required for all company level dancers for performances.

Fall is almost here!
It has been a fantastic summer at Steps of Faith! We have had a lot of new faces (teachers and students), and the dancers have worked really hard! Several of our ladies "went away" for summer intensives at American Ballet Theatre and at Ballet Magnificat, and we cannot wait to hear their stories as well!
Now is the time to gear up for our fall schedule that begins in only a few weeks, August 11th.
We are NOT having an open house/registration day this year. We have found most of you just want to register "whenever", so we have made online registration available! You may also pop in the studio during our limited office hours too! We already have well over 120 people signed up for the fall, and I have heard of many more of you planning to come! Please sign up now, as most classes are still available.
Tonya will be available at the office Mondays and Thursdays from 930-1pm til August 1st. And as a prep for classes beginning, she is working Tuesday, Aug. 5 from 12-7 (Open House day at the schools), Thursday, Aug. 7 from 2:30-7, and Friday, Aug 8 from 2:30-6. Regular office hours (Monday-Friday) will begin Monday Aug. 11 when classes start!
Don't forget to get your dancewear for the fall: DanceWearHouse in Acworth, Spirit Wear in Cartersville, or CenterStage II in Marietta. You can also order online at www.curtaincallforclass.com (log into our school for class info). Remember each class level has its own color leotard. Any style is fine.
Can't wait to see you all soon!!!!
