Pajama Project 2025

Dear Dancers and Parents,

We are so excited to tell you about our pajama and book drive.  Together, with other sister studios, we are going to collect new books and pajamas for all children sizes Preemie to adult to be donated to those in need throughout Utah.

In 2009 a few studio owners decided that it shouldn't just be about dancing during the holidays, it should be about “making a difference” in someone else’s life!  So many of us have grown up with the tradition of opening up a new pair of pajamas every Christmas Eve.  Kids love pajamas! We felt like giving pajamas to other children was a way to help even our youngest dancers grasp the concept of giving.  We have been collecting pajamas and books for the Utah Foster Care Foundation and several other local charities each and every year since.  They are always so excited to see us and so grateful for new jammies right in time for the holidays! 

PROJECT DETAILS:

• Pajamas and books must be new, please NO hangers!

• Pajamas are needed for all sizes. From preemie up to adults.

• We are also collecting monetary donations. This will go towards more jammies and books! Bring in cash or Venmo donations to @danceforlife and include the dancers name so the amount can go toward their service society recognition!

• Our studio has a goal for each dancer to collect 10 pairs of pajamas, or 20 books, or $50 in cash donations. We will also accept a combination of the three donations (ex. 5 pjs and 10 books).  

• We recommend having students purchase pajamas they would wear themselves to donate.  This way they feel more connected to the project and the recipients. We are always in need of more adult sizes too, so spread the word!

• Involve everyone around you!  Ask for donations from your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers. We have included a letter that we encourage you to share with everyone you know.  We want to involve as many people in our community as we can.  Here is a letter you can print out, forward to your friends and family, and post on your social media.

• We will be collecting pajamas at the studio through December 5.

This is one of our favorite times of the year and we feel that this is a wonderful opportunity to teach our students about giving service. We want our dancers to be involved with friends and classmates in feeling the spirit of giving together during the holidays. We are a strong group of loving individuals and if we come together we can make a difference in someone else’s life!  Please help us make our project a huge success!

Happy Holidays!

Our company program is for dancers who want to be challenged to reach their full potential. View the information packet HERE.

UNDERWEAR: It's that time of year again for the need to remind everyone about our underwear rule...  Dancers don't wear underwear, they wear tights.  This is the hardest thing to explain to little girls.  Let's start working on it now so we don't have panty problems at recital.  Thanks!

DANCE IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE WELL BEING OF THE CHILD: Dance has many benefits! We’ve listed a few of our favorites below in three categories: academic, emotional, and physical.  Intellectual and Academic Benefits, Social and Emotional Benefits, and Physical Benefits.  Read more HERE.

FOR PARENTS OF PRESCHOOL DANCERS- MAY THEME: Hello Preschool Dance Parents! We love our preschool dance themes!  This month is “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on my Head.”  We are going to be using some fun props in class this month like our parachute and an umbrella. At home you can be working on: skipping, memory, 3rd position, toe touches, and confidence. Recital is just around the corner.  We hope you are finding time at home to review recital routines.

Classes are putting the finishing touches on their dances, and we can’t wait for them to take the stage!  Get ready to board the “Cruise Ship Express” and let your dreams set sail as our dancers entertain you and take you on an exciting voyage full of sun, sand, and dancing under the sea! We can’t wait to bring this unforgettable show to life on the big stage with all of you!
