TFAD dancer, Della Dininger, is participating in the first annual Snowflake Princess contest with Kappa Delta Phi Sorority. If she wins, she will be named the Boone County Snowflake Princess 2016, and will get to ride in the Holiday Lights Parade.

To win the contest she needs to collect the most donations from now through Nov. 28!

Her chosen not-for-profit is the Lebanon Area Boys & Girls Club. They will receive 20 percent of the total donations, and the other 80 percent will be distributed through KDP!

A donation can is at Talent Factory Arts & Dance, and at Rinse Hair Design.

Holiday Showcase

Mark your calendars! The Holiday Showcase will be the first recital of the year for all of our students!

Talent Factory Holiday Showcase
Saturday, Dec. 10 @ 6 p.m.
Lebanon High School, Auditorium
CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS

TICKETS:
Click here to purchase tickets. Tickets are $5 when purchased online, or $7 at the door. These are assigned seats. Please plan to purchase early – the Holiday Showcase is likely to sell out!

LOGISTICS:
There will be NO dress rehearsal for the Holiday Showcase.

Students will be given a call time for the performance at a later date.

ATTIRE:
All students must have a red TFAD t-shirt for the performance. Shirts are $15, and should  be ordered through Miss Paula at the front desk by Friday, Nov. 18. If your student has a red TFAD t-shirt from last year, they do not need to purchase a new shirt. 

Students will be required to wear their class-appropriate dance shoes. All students need black bottoms (pants, sweatpants, shorts, leggings or dance skirts). Ballet students will need a black leotard and black dance skirt, or a black ballet dress. All girls will need to wear tights, and hair must be pulled back. Christmas bows are allowed, however we discourage headbands because they tend to fall off.

DVD:
DVD orders will be taken in advance at the TFAD front desk, and at the show.

FLOWERS:
Flowers will be available for purchase at the performance.

We are so proud of everyone who auditioned! Unfortunately, not everyone could make the team. We encourage all of our students to work hard in their classes this year to grow technically, and to re-audition next year. It takes patience and lots of extra work outside the classroom. Don’t give up!

We welcome those who didn’t make the Talent Factory Company to participate in all studio public performances throughout the upcoming season. This will help prepare you for next year’s auditions. Watch your email for those dates!

Each month we will recognize two TFAD students, teachers, helpers or parents who go the extra mile. Look for a new spotlight in each newsletter!

What is your favorite part about TFAD?: “My favorite part of dance class is getting candy from Grammy Paula after I’m done dancing!”
