- A Call for Individuals as Sponsors
- Commission a Dance for the Ballroom Dance Student Showcase. Choreographers Karen and Michael, and Karen and Michael's guest choreographers, will create up to twenty 2-4 minute choreographies for partner dance couples of the beginning and intermediate skill level. It takes approximately 20 hours to choreograph the dance and train the students models in the choreography to make sure it is appopriate for the intended dance skill level of intended. Student models are the dancers that the choreographer works with as the dance is being created to help determine if the dance is appropriate for the skill level of student it was designed for. You can commission one or more of these dances which will be performed in the Student Dance Show. Your commission can help promote goodwill in the community, give opportunities for beginning and intermediate level dancers to learn new works that they wouldn't have been able to afford to commission on their own, and promote dance.
