Service
1% for Humanity - In recognition of our 10th Anniversary and of the joy
and blessings we’ve received during this time, The Studio is humbled to
to join 1% for Humanity. You all give so much of your time and talents as
we work to serve those in our community and we are grateful. We
appreciate all you do and want to be doing our part as well. Thank you!
Ronald McDonald House - Speaking of service, we are confirmed to
serve a meal at the RMcD House on Sunday, Feb 2nd. We will know
more concerning time specifics shortly. We need to plan to feed 50
people. We may cook onsite or prepare and bring. We may only have
eight [8] adults onsite and if we bring kids [any under 18] the ratio
should be 1 to every 3 adults. Anyone who might like to serve in this
capacity is welcome. Please let Ms. Vicki know of your interest by 1/23
so we can plan. Thank you!
Performance for Seniors - Thank you to all who performed for the Senior
Community in Camp Hill on Sunday, 1/12. It was a wonderful
experience and the residents truly enjoyed the performance!

Performing Groups: Just to have all of the information in one place. We are taking off Jan & Feb, resuming
rehearsals in March. We have a performance at Kinkora on 3/9 at 3pm. On Friday, 4/25 we are taking
these groups to a Talent Explosion competition at the Radisson in Camp Hill. [That is a picture / audition /
Alice rehearsal weekend so please make a note it will be busy!] Also, we will be performing at
Fredricksen Library to celebrate National Dance Week on Tues, 4/29 at 7pm. I realize this is during the
week and late-ish. All of the slots were week nights and at 7pm. Our show will be no more than 30 minutes
as I understand it and will start with our younger dancers so they can get out of there quickly! Our final
show for the performing groups will be part of the ballet on May 10th! That’s it for the year. :)
Competition Teams: To review your schedule as well, recall we have a competition the weekend of
1/31-2/2, 2/28 - 3/1, and 4/25. The first two are in Lancaster and the third is in Camp Hill. They will also be
a part of the show joining the ballet on May 10th!
Nutcracker DVDs: These are now available at the desk. Some folks pre-ordered. If we need more please
let Ms. Vicki know.
