The Director’s Dish. . .

Happy November!

The year is flying by already and the holiday season is quickly going to be upon us!

As we enter this season we have so much to be thankful for here at 8 Count and we want you to know how grateful we are for YOU and your children. The gift of dance and exposure to the arts is one of the most precious gifts you can give your child, and we are thankful you’ve chosen 8 Count to educate your children through dance.

As we reflect upon our blessings, we also want to turn our attention to those less fortunate than us. This year we will again be partnering with Green Good Neighbors for a canned food drive and also with “Akron Hope” through the University of Akron for a toy drive. Please consider participating and helping out a family that is less fortunate this holiday season.

In December, we will be revealing the exciting costumes for our 2018

Showcase as well as announcing our showcase line- ups so you can prepare for which show(s) your child will be in. Once our holiday break is over we will be starting our recital pieces for our 2018 Show!

Again, we want to extend our sincere gratitude to all of our dance families and students and wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! See You On The Dance Floor!
