2008 ANNUAL PERFORMANCE
THURSDAY JUNE 26, 2008...Dress Rehearsal & Show!!!
Our annual dance performance is held in June of each dance year. We always choose a theme upon which we base our performance, and this June our students will be presenting CATS ON BROADWAY! Last year's performance of JUNGLE BOOK was so much fun, we can't wait to work on our 2008 production! Our June performance is an option to all NPADC dance family members. Students who do not wish to participate still learn their class routine(s), as it is an important part of their training, yet they will not perform the routine on stage. Whether you're a new member of our family, or if you've been with us for years, please be sure to read through your DANCE-O-GRAM for all your performance information. In our never-ending quest to be the best we can be, we periodically change things!
Be a part of the fun and you could win a $150.00 SCHOLARSHIP to NPAC! Ads are sold for our 2008 CATS ON BROADWAY Program Books. They can be sold to local businesses, family and friends beginning in March. OVER 900 PEOPLE ATTEND OUR JUNE PERFORMANCE! Any dancer selling a total of at least one full page of ads (valued at $175.00) will have their name entered into a drawing for a $150.00 SCHOLARSHIP to NPAC! AND..even more chances to win..once you've reached your goal of $175 in advertising, your name will be entered again each time you sell another ad! To be eligible, all ads must be paid in full and in our office no later than May 1, 2008. Ads that are not paid in full will not count towards a dancer's total sales. The drawing will take place at our June Performance!
Don't wait! Go on out there and make that scholarship yours!!
