Thanks to everyone for all of the support Springs Dance Company received through the Silent Auction! You helped us raise 5,824.00 which will provide funding for costumes, community outreach projects, and production costs for their concert in March.

Anyone who would like to make a 5.00 donation to SDC by having their hand painted to decorate the new studio can still do that November 10-15 during the afternoon/evening hours at the studio. So many people wanted to do this, but couldn’t make it to the event. So, we hope you will take advantage of this extended opportunity!

Special thanks to Francisca Yanez, Nikki Bird, Cappy Polk, Terry Pavone, Theresa Lewis, Katherine Herring, Deanne Guarino, Kristin Vanderbeek, Cathy Kauffman, Beth Meyer, Jill Dunn, Amy Fisher, and all of the Dads who helped to organize the October 25th event! We couldn’t have done it without everyone’s help!

Open Dance Night/ SDC’s Silent Auction/ Fall Festival/ Ribbon Cutting Saturday, October 25th 6-9 p.m.  

 This will be a very special night at the Holly Springs School Of Dance with tons of creativity, games, auction items up for bid, hot dogs, kettlecorn, desserts and coffee, and our ribbon cutting. We want all of our HSSOD families to share in this fun “Family Friendly” event! The Silent Auction event supports the company throughout the season.

Many wonderful items are up for bid including an Eric Staal autographed Hockey Stick, Hurricanes vs. Avalanche hockey tickets, 6 Park Passes to Disney World, Releve Gift Basket, Yoga Pam Gift Certificates, Salon Bedazzled Hair Salon Gift Certificates, a Mountain Weekend Escape, a "Tranquil" Beach Weekend, Jewelry, ECU vs. UTEP tickets, Golf Outings at Devils Ridge and Cypress Landing, terrific gift baskets from local merchants, and services for the whole family will be open for bidding at great deals! You can start your holiday shopping with us!

In conjunction with the auction, we will have our official ribbon cutting at 6:15pm for our new studio! We want you to be there to help us celebrate a wonderful new addition to our school! Dancers can help us decorate one of our walls by painting their hand and stamping it. Kids can sign their name as well next to their handprint. The cost is 5.00 with all proceeds going to SDC. Want a chance to win a free year’s tuition? Enter our drawing on October 25th for just one dollar. Again, proceeds go to SDC. You must be present to win at 9pm when the drawing will be announced.

A highlight of this year’s event will be the addition of our Fall Open Dance Night. There are two dance performances: one at 6:30 and one at 7:30. Dancers who signed up to participate have been assigned to one of the performances. This event is open to dancers of all ages to create something new in any dance style they choose. NEW dancers who choose to choreograph to holiday music will have the opportunity to be voted on by the audience to perform at this year’s Holiday Cabaret!

As outreach programs of the Holly Springs School of Dance, the Springs Dance Company, including the Junior Company and the recently added Apprentice Company, are nonprofit multi-age dance organizations with the mission of bringing dance to people who might not otherwise have the chance to experience it. Since 2000, these dancers have provided a day of dance at the Children’s Home in Oxford, served as “Artists in Residence” at Willow Springs Elementary and performed at community events, malls, museums, and nursing homes. Every winter the companies host a performance which serves as a fund-raiser for the American Cancer Society. The annual event has raised more than $50,000 to date.

The Springs Dance Company needs your help. Funds are needed for expenses such as costumes, equipment and transportation. To raise money for these expenses the combined companies are hosting the sixth annual Silent Auction at the Holly Springs School of Dance on October 25, 2008. The dancers hope to raise $5,000. Your help is needed to reach that goal. Both auction items and cash donations are gratefully accepted.

Donors to this event will be recognized in several ways. A large poster listing all business donors will be displayed during the night of the event. All donors will be honored on the Holly Springs School of Dance website as well as featured in the program distributed at the six performances at the Fletcher Opera House this spring. These programs will reach families in Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Apex, Cary, Raleigh and surrounding areas. 

The fair market value of your donation is a tax-deductible donation to the Springs Dance Company.  Please download and complete the donor form from this page and return it with your donation to the Holly Springs School of Dance so we can provide you with a donation acknowledgment for your tax records.
