OCTOBER NEWSLETTER

Dear SDSCPA Dancers and Families,

Thank you for your participation and support in the previous weeks involving auditions and a very successful start to the rehearsal season this year.

We need your support on multiple fronts this October - Enrollment & Fundraising!

First and foremost, we are excited to FINALLY be returning to IN-PERSON auditions for the 2024-2025 school year! The auditions take place on campus Saturday, October 21st. Please share this date and details with any prospective student or family that you think would be interested in auditioning for SDSCPA Dance! The ONLY requirement is for dancers to perform a 1-minute solo in ANY genre they choose. We want dancers with passion & potential! No formal experience is necessary, we train them all!

We are kicking off our fundraising campaign for the Regional High School Dance Festival this month. We plan to bring 25 of our 10-12th grade dance majors to this remarkable festival in March at The Governor's School for the Arts in Norfolk, VA. It costs nearly $35,000 to provide the opportunity of a lifetime for the dancers to audition for college/conservatory and summer intensives, perform and take master classes with industry professionals from all over the globe. See the QR code and our fundraising page for more information. EVERY little bit counts! 

Thank you in advance for your continued support of our dance program and school! We appreciate you!
