Soft Shoe Raffle!!
The soft shoe raffle has been delayed. Many families were still on vacation the week the tickets were on sale.
To give more families an opportunity to purchase tickets, the draw will be held Jan 21st at the end of the Photo day. That gives each family two weeks so look for tickets in their studio, $5 for 1 or $20 for 5. If you purchase 5 tickets and you win that’s a brand new, championship quality soft shoe (retail value $58 plus shipping) for $20

There will be 5 drawings, each for a single pair of brand new Inishfree Aoife soft shoe/pumps.Please note that photo day is not just for dancers. You can sign up to take family photos and invite your friends to join the fun. Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity that Dan Straszewski is providing.
